<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7719665, member: 75482&quot;]You may find the link below useful. Mr. Semans is a leading dealer and authority on Chinese coins. I will simply repeat his first sentence for emphasis: <i>&quot;It is hard to overstate the problem&quot;</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coincoin.com/I054.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coincoin.com/I054.htm" rel="nofollow">https://coincoin.com/I054.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, inexpensive and ultra-common coins are far less likely to be convincingly faked than more valuable pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard from collectors in China that they prefer to buy only from overseas because (their words) &quot;everything for sale inside China is fake&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last point, Chinese law prohibits the export of coins of the Tang and earlier dynasties. At the same time, the import of Tang and earlier coins into the US is restricted through a memorandum of understanding between the Chinese government and the US Department of State.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caveat emptor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
