<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3133439, member: 78244&quot;]This is my most expensive coin. It is my favorite due to its history. It is a gold inlaid knife cast by Wang Mang to confiscate the wealth and power from the nobility, meaning it was owned by one of the most powerful individuals in China between 7-9 AD. They are extremely rare, especially ones that are unquestionably genuine like this one. The three in the British Museum all give me doubts as to their authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799693[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is my most valuable one, even though it cost les than half of the above specimen. This is a 4-Character Qi Knife. It is far rarer than the above coin and is in remarkable condition. The last auction record I could find for this type was in 2011.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is fun because it was &gt;this&lt; close to getting confiscated by French airport security.
