China-empire fake coins? [opgelost]

7 berichten
Hi. Recently I have bought an old coins lot (eBay), with some chinese cash and some other ones (mainly Wu-Shu, I think). I have no idea if they are fake or not. Can you help me? Thank you very much

Ok. Thank you very much!!!
I'm new at Oriental cash coins, but want to share my first thoughts.
First of all, if they come from China, I would turn the table and assume they are fakes until deemed genuine.
This may not be as helpful as it once was, as I have already been approached by a Chinese manufacturer with an offer for me to act as a distributor for fakes in the US.
Specifically, the coins all appear to have a similar surface texture, wear and patina.
I've probably passed up a lot of genuine coins because of my suspicious nature.
Looking forward to hearing from some of the more seasoned collectors.

I'd say more towards real than fake.
Considering this coin is an Han dynasty (206 BC, 220 AC), 5 Zhu - Lettering: 銖 and the high amount of low price similar coins circulating on ebay, it would be wise to assume they are fakes. :snif:
Or ... with 50$, you get exotic certifications :D
