Message:: [QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2821054, member: 78244"]Saw this lot pop up in one of my favorite dealer's inventories, and I bought it without thinking too much. I bought it for the shattered ring coin fragments. The dealer felt they were fake, but they have very convincing patina and wear, and I have not seen fakes shatter as cleanly as these coins. If they are fake, I am out only $27, which I can probably make up with the ming knives, which I know are genuine. They could be genuine coins modified into rare varieties, and these just broke apart in the process. I can't wait to examine these in hand. I see several extremely rare varieties among the fragments. I see at least six different types. If genuine and intact, they would be worth $1000-4000 each easily.
