Ancient Chinese Spade/Knife Coins
« on: March 01, 2012, 07:28:27 am »
Dear numismatic experts,
     I would like to receive your opinion about these ancient (?) chinese coins I found for sale some time ago.
     I must state I am neither an expert nor a collector of chinese coins, but from what I can read here and there it is quite a hard work to distinguish between fake and original ones, so any help or suggestion would be really appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your contribution, Zara.

I am no expert on these coins, although I do own several, but I suspect 95% of these object (directly from China....) to be fakes. In China I have seen them made and patinated. 'Leal ancient coin! One Dollah' .

Mine also comes directly from the Chinese mainland. China forbids the exportation of ancient artifacts. Heads off if they do.... Chop! Chop! Say Fu Manchu.
