Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 08:47 am The first one looks to be a Daoguang Boo-Yuwan type, while the other three look to be a Daoguang Boo-Chiowan type. These were made from 1821 to 1850, and do not appear to be rare. Because I am not good at determining whether or not if coins are fake, I will not make a call on authenticity, but the last two look weird to me. And you can see an example of these coins here.

Heart of Silver New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 9:31 pm I agree. I don't know the exact names of the coins, but they do look from around 1830's. The last two may not be real, but I'm not sure either. Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 06/24/2017 08:12 am If you see a line on the edge, they are cast replica's Many of these coins are made as Lucky charms. Do no pay to much for them, they are not rare or valuable. They are all too crude.... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26024.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12421.html Please ask Kenny if they are real, he is an expert: https://en.numista.com/echanges/profil.php?id=3039 Report this Post to the Staff
JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 06/24/2017 2:18 pm Many thanks Petrus. When you write .. "If you see a line on the edge, they are cast replica's" what exactly do you mean ? The edge of ? I assume you mean a line around the very edge of the rim ? Cheers Brian. Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 06/24/2017 2:56 pm I assume you mean a line around the very edge of the rim ? Indeed. The real coins are cast too, but the line where the two moulds meet is not so clear. here you see how they were made: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7sQwO5tS.../s1600/1.jpg they are very cheap : https://nl.(Not Allowed).com/item/zhaorui627-Collect-50pcs-Chinese-Copper-Coin-Qing-Dynasty-Antique-Currency-Cash/32354803942.html?spm=2114.48010708.4.23.EHvWk0 Report this Post to the Staff
