<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 5292291, member: 4373&quot;]Education? Not a problem. This is an example purchased about 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/989255.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A rather rare Gansu fat man &quot;coin&quot;. If genuine, this is easily a 10000 - 15000 USD coin today. The original host coin is 1911 Qing Dynasty coin. Back then, such genuine coins could be bought cheap for less than 50 dollars - many were sold as junk scrap. A Kansu fat man at that time commanded a respectable 5000 USD. A good 100 times profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>This will pass both weight and edge test. The only thing that the counterfeiter missed is to strike at a higher pressure to eliminate original host. There are still some details that aren&#039;t quite right but this is dangerously close. Keep in mind that this is a sample that&#039;s almost a decade old so improvements have been made since then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is NOT a good thing for the hobby. I classify this not any better than the Chinese counterfeit shown above. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question remains unanswered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
