China - Emperor Li Zong cash coin: fake or not? [решено]

4 сообщений
Hi there. Now it is my turn to give you a coin. This coin is China Empire coin, Li Zong 2 cash, Hartill# 17.716, FD# 1479. Weight 4.7 g, diameter 27.9 mm, thickness 1.4 mm. What do you think, fake or not?



And please, comment something more than fake or not fake. I have my opinion, but...
looks like a badly cast replica coin.
But I can be wrong...

Thanks. I thought so too. The surface of the coin is "too good" to be that old coin and there is some kind of black oil or something which too easily can be removed. Also the coin is too light, I have few other coins of that type and all those are more heavier and somehow different. That specific year is also the most expensive of that type. So this more or less confirms my suspicion.

Since these coins were cast, not struck, the off-center designs are very suspect.
