<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 3982788, member: 87271&quot;]Having such a nice provenance is a great thing! Chinese coins have been counterfeited for centuries, although the older forgeries are way easier to detect than the modern ones. Those older fakes are what we call ‘one-eye fakes’, such as that Qi knife earlier on in this topic. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for them to be genuine, that would be quite the find. Schulman was indeed quite a reputable numismatists, even within the area of ‘primitive’/odd &amp; curious coins, but now there is way more data available to authenticate them and detect forgeries. As I said, older forgeries are relatively easy for us to detect nowadays. Spades and knives, those strange, non-round coins from the Zhou/Chou dynasty are my speciality, I would love to take a look at those for you to see what is in there![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
