<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2508419, member: 76086&quot;]Ive had them for so many years I cant remember where they came from, but I have also handled many water found coins and this one also has that look.&nbsp; They are often brittle and break easily.&nbsp; But the Xu Zhu was found by me mixed into a large hoard of about 1,000 normal looking Wu Zhu&#039;s (I dont remember the exact type or period).&nbsp; Other than that I dont remember much.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have also heard this explanation (offered on the charm site).&nbsp; I am told that it is possible the Xu character is modified or added completely, as this can be done using a mix of genuine coin patina and crumbles mixed with glue and then applied.&nbsp; Supposedly if this is the case one can boil it in water and it will dissolve.&nbsp; I have just never taken the time do do that (not to mention I dont want to damage it in some way if it is genuine).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
