<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3905961, member: 78244&quot;]As an example, this is a modern forgery of a Wang Mang value-700 spade. Compare it with the value-400 spade below. The stokes are very thick and fuzzy, while the genuine coin’s strokes are very sharp. The whole surface of the fake coin is grainy (as cast), which is not the case on the genuine coin. As a result, the suspect coin CANNOT be a genuine mint product. However, since the metal is modern and the patina is obviously fake, it isn’t a contemporary forgery either. </p><p><br /></p><p>This shows how your assumptions about modern forgeries being exact is extremely dangerous, especially since this is a $1000-2000 coin if genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1029675[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1029676[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
