The sorrow of an industry! Ancient coins are in great stock, but fakes are even greater. Nowadays, in the ancient coin market, people who have no experience and no eyesight will buy fakes at any time, after all, they have long been flooded, making people unable to prevent it, and if you see more fakes, you can't distinguish between the real and the fake, and even black and white are reversed, and some people see fakes as genuine, and those who see the real as fakes. I dare say that most of the ancient coins in the homes of many Tibetans are modern imitations.
This is the Qianlong Tongbao hoarded in the trader's house, and it looks like it weighs at least a ton. Don't think that Qianlong Tongbao has a large number of surviving and the price is not expensive, so you don't think there are fakes. This kind of coin is cheap to make, and even if it is sold for a few dollars, it is very profitable.
Yongzheng Tongbao is the smallest amount of the five emperor coins in the world, and the highest market price of Qing money. It is rare to see the real thing on the market, and now its market price is generally a few hundred yuan or thousands of yuan a piece. The people who have collected so many genuine Yongzheng Tongbao products at home are definitely not ordinary people, even Ma Weidu's family may not have so many genuine Yongzheng Tongbao.
Kaiyuan Tongbao is a kind of coin of the Tang Dynasty, because of the large amount of stock and low price, many Tibetan friends think that there are basically no fakes on the market, and they feel that there is no need to counterfeit.
Chongning Tongbao, a coin from the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, pictured is a model. We all know that the price of Chongning Tongbao is relatively high, so friends who like to collect ancient coins should be cautious and keep their eyes open, otherwise they will accidentally buy fakes.
The ancient coin industry used to be in full swing and loved by everyone, but now young people are not interested in them, and there are too many fakes, so the industry has almost become a sunset industry.
