<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2467141, member: 76086"]Authenticity, yes. I have the attributions, both are very rare. I had posted both at charm.ru years ago. Mixed results. Many experts saying good, then some saying bad. Its a conundrum with Chinese coins. As they are all cast the methodology for identifying a fake is completely different from European coins. Often the factor lies with the patina. Soft patina is usually fake, hard is genuine (both are hard and crusty).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
