Observe the appearance of a coin When appreciating a coin, it is necessary to pay attention to its appearance characteristics, including size, weight, material, pattern, text, etc. These characteristics can reflect the level of craftsmanship and cultural characteristics of an era. For example, the silver coins of ancient Greece were very elaborate in their designs and texts, which could reflect the level of culture and art of the time. 3. Distinguish between counterfeits and counterfeitsBecause coins have a high value, they can easily become a target for counterfeiters.
