<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3905910, member: 78244&quot;]LOL. Just LOL. You are COMPLETELY ignoring the many general patterns the coins had as they evolved. The rims I mentioned were generally on every single coin between 117 BC and ~400 AD, except for the coins cast to look clipped. The style started to shift with the Western Wei “Wu Zhus” and “Chang Ping Wu Zhus” to flat rims with flat characters of the same relief. The character strokes before then were sharp or rounded, not flat.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When the economy was relatively stable and when people were not killing each other all the time, the fabric was generally consistent. Yes, there were variants with extra marks or slight variations in calligraphy, but all you are doing in conflating the facts to confuse the readers here. The major style variants did not occur until after 400 AD. Then when the Kai Yuan came about in 618 AD, look how EXTREMELY CONSISTENT the style for cash coins was for the next 1300 years.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, NOT IMPORTANT!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it does. If all of the accepted examples have a consistent style and yours is different, then that should say something. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, what I am trying to say is that minute variations do not matter. You are conflating that fact that tiny variations exist to make it seem that the myriad of differences on your coin are within the margin of error.</p><p><br /></p><p>- The rims are completely incongruent with the period</p><p>- The character strokes are nowhere near the same relief of the rims</p><p>- The font of the characters is very different and downright crude</p><p><br /></p><p>This is more than slight variations from mould to mould. These are all basic aspects of style/fabric that should be consistent among genuine pieces. Since yours is different in three very significant ways, it CANNOT be an authentic original. It could be an ancient counterfeit, as I have said twice before, but it is certainly not one of the original tokens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
