<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 3139189, member: 92556&quot;]From one who is not knowledgeable about Chinese coins, Real or Fake. I have a book, &quot;Fakes &amp; Forgeries&quot; by Brian Innes. Chapter 1, &quot;Funny Money&quot; Covers some 30+ pages. This paragraph is selected - &quot;How It&#039;s Done. Genuine coins are usually &quot;struck&quot; from molten metal under pressure between two engraved dies. Early forgers (and many more recent ones) did not have the technology for this. They made casts in terra-cotta or plaster from genuine coins in order to form their molten metal. As a result, counterfeit coins usually do not have such a sharp image, and their edges are less well defined.&quot; - Some of you may already know this. It is for the benefit of those who don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
