<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2574310, member: 78244&quot;]I just got the coins today. The first two are authentic (or so I can tell to the best of my ability), but I am concluding that the Tian You is fake. The hole is very modern and done with modern machinery, so I presume that it was done to disfigure the fake, thus making it less attractive to potential buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other signs too. They are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Coarse haziness to the characters. I will try to get good pictures of what I mean. Genuine coins do not have this texture.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Random sharp raised bumps and cracks. I could not find a similar pattern on any genuine coins in auction records.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. No reverse character. Hartill does not recognize a 2-cash variety without a character on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. The inner and outer rims on the reverse are nearly level with the rest of the surface of the coin. This is inconsistent with what I have noticed with genuine coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be contacting the auction company ASAP.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
