<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4532180, member: 97383"]Milesofwho, Many thanks for finishing this excellent article <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! I feel bad for interrupting the continuity of your thread with my earlier post <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Anyway, your article triggered an old memory of a 10 cash coin I bought in Los Angeles, CA about 50 years ago, pictured below. It was sold to me as a <b>10 cash coin issued under the authority of the Ming rebel Sun Kewang, circa 1648-1657, 21.8 gm, 46.77 mm</b>. The characters <b>Xing Chao</b> on the obverse supposedly translate "Prosperous Dynasty", signaling his wish to oust the Manchu invaders. I've been told there a many modern forgeries of this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> & would appreciate you opinion on the authenticity of this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122473[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122474[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
