[QUOTE="arnoldoe, post: 2878060, member: 72712"]Here is my only holed cast coin so far... [ATTACH=full]689105[/ATTACH] This coin was [URL='https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1154&category=24439&lot=1069216']previously sold in 2014 [/URL]as a extremely rare Northern Song coin from the reign of Qin Zong (Hartill 16.517) for 4000 Euros + fees on a 3600 Euro Starting bid... however it seems that the coin was found by the buyer to have not been a genuine Northern Song coin, rather a later imitation from the 16th century and was probably returned after the buyer discovered that information. Then earlier this year the coin was re-auctioned by the same auction house with a starting bid of 900 Euros as a Javanese Imitation [URL='https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=3555&category=74672&lot=2960080']but went unsold[/URL]... I then acquired it a few weeks ago and e-mailed David Hartill about it and he said it was likely an imitation from Vietnam or Indonesia after 1500 since before that date zinc wasn't used in Chinese coins. For the 2014 auction the coin was supposedly XRF'd with the results... Cu 71,44 %, Zn 14,07 %, Sn 2,32 %, Pb 7,37 %, Fe 2,48 %[/QUOTE]
