<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1018847, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry but this section made me laugh. I collect ancient Chinese, and the thought that it is safer in China to buy Chinese coins is funny. The Chinese perfected the art of counterfeiting money back when most Europeans were running around with clubs and loin cloths and the US was 2000 years away from existence. Trying to buy coins in China is the classic case of swimming in a shark infested pool. I know a few dealers in China I would trust, but would never recommend trying to have a friend buy for you unless he was a true expert in the field. I have bought coins there, and will tell you half of all coins in &quot;coin shops&quot; are fakes, and almost 100% in other locations are fakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>If your friend is an expert, then by all means you can have him buy for you. Btw, 17th century coins should be relatively cheap, as most cash coins for the past 1000 years are cheap for common ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
