Hi bandidos! Wasting my time on the internet I came across this page: http://www.dragondollar.com Don't want to make any advertisement for the page or whatever. What I find interesting besides some coins/medals I could spend (invest ) money on, there is an option to send a picture of the coin and author(s?) of the page will try to determine if it's fake or not.

I have liked the Dragon Dollars for quite awhile now...these images are pure joy to my eyes. Have not seen this websiite before and probably would not get heavily into buying them . I do have quite a few known fakes(bought on the understanding that they were just that). And also a well worn Hu Peii Province 7 mace and 2 Candareens which has several chopmarks on both sides..chops lend creedence to it being genuine , I understand. Did check out a few of the coins described on the site and have to say I love the imagination of the collector/dealer. So lyrical This glistening "Circlet-like scales" dragon is a rare breed. The doubled die turned its armour into a chainmail, delicately adorned with pearls. Below the K of Kiangnan Province, a lonely cloud has been struck in silver. The K is an extremely rare variety, especially that well preserved. Most of the known specimen have already been worn down by a century of turmoil.
I agree with you regarding the "poetic" description of the author. It's much more interesting to (start) reading it. In the past I was following music blog by some guy from US. His writing was superb, really interesting and in long term not much repeating (considering he was writing in for several years). As opposed to most of the other sites. I think later apply to many PM sites ("reviews") as well.
