[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2753976, member: 78244"]Here is my stable of Huo Quans. I don't have any stellar ones like [USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER]. The second row has normal-sized coins. The third row shows just how diminuitive these coins got. The first and fourth rows are just some interesting varieties I came across, the fourth row in particular. From left to right on the fourth row: a clipped Huo Quan, a later one with the center punched out (I have only seen two of these, and I can't find my second one :(), a huo quan cast to look like it has been clipped (only one I have seen), a couple errors where two reverse moulds were used which resulted in blank coins, and a thick giant variety called a biscuit. I might be a bit crazy, but who can resist at an average price of $0.50 each? [ATTACH=full]631403[/ATTACH] Dummy me forgot I had these before I took the above picture. [ATTACH=full]631412[/ATTACH] And of course I have these. Due to their style and the fact that they look worn, I believe that these were privately-made counterfeits. Official coins were not made using straight mould like these were (as far as I know), further leading to the conclusion that they are contemporary counterfeits. This one cost a little (actually, a LOT) more than $0.50. [ATTACH=full]631413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]631414[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
