Features: Like other areas of antique collection, the field of ancient coin collecting has been impacted by waves of counterfeit coins in recent years, causing many enthusiasts and collectors to fear being deceived. Even when encountering an ancient coin they have long desired, they often hesitate to purchase it, worried about buying fakes. The production and sale of counterfeit coins have severely disrupted and harmed the normal development of ancient coin collecting activities. In light of this, Sun Zhonghui and Yu Jiuqiang, renowned ancient coin appraisers and collectors from Shanghai, have compiled their decades of experience in appraising and collecting ancient coins. They have meticulously selected seventy-five pairs of genuine and counterfeit ancient coins that are favored by enthusiasts and eagerly produced by counterfeiters, comparing them one by one and detailing their insights and key points. It is particularly noteworthy that this book deviates from the common practice of using rubbings in previous coin books and instead employs actual photographs. This not only enhances the book's aesthetic appeal but also provides readers with a more authentic experience of the listed coins.
