[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 10039943, member: 22"]I've collected coins for well over 60 years, I've seen more coin bracelets and coin jewellry than you have had hot dinners, and seen and handled many fakes. That chain was not put together in the early 1900's. I posted your pictures on CoinTalk. Here are some of the responses. [B]Every one of those coins has the look of a contemporary Chinese fake, IMHO. The coloring, the letters, the dentils. To me the loops for mounting look too good for an old piece. On the second pic down, the first two images those are definitely fake! [ATTACH=full]504161[/ATTACH] [/B] I'm not criticising you I'm trying to help you. As I've said before when you are going out buying coins that are cheap you must take a Rare Earth Magnet with you to test the silver. Also take an ordinary magnet to check if the coins are magnetic, if so they are not silver.[B][/B][/QUOTE]
