[QUOTE="Barnabus, post: 1950350, member: 71080"]I just bought a Yuan Shikai coin, supposedly 5 "Yuan", and the coin looked super super legit.

What is the world coming to when people resort to lies, and falsehoods in order to make money?? There are so many venues, and ways of making money legitimately, however these cretins continue to plague the world. I learned my lesson first off, very clear, NEVER EVER buy ANYTHING from China! Sorry to all of the good reputable Chinese people, but if their place of origin is China, I will instantly assume they are scamming cheaters. There are over 1.3B people in china, and you have to think that a good portion of those people are not honest. Since so many people, the dis-honesty % will be higher than anywhere else in the world.
