With that said, we should still be able to help you. A couple things would helpful: the weight and diameter plus pics of the other side of both coins. Interestingly, your second coin looks quite a bit like an upside side Lincoln Memorial cent.

Offhand I can't identify the first, but it looks Chinese. A photo of the other side might help. Report this Post to the Staff
Wandering Circle Valued Member Hong Kong 176 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 9:53 pm The cash coin reads "Guangxu Tongbao", but for some reason the calligraphy is quite a mess. Please provide photos of the other side as it's quite essential for identifying Qing coins. Edited by Wandering Circle 05/21/2022 9:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
StockCousteau New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 10:22 pm Thank you all for the quick responses. In the future I will create individual threads. Here are the reverse sides of both coins. Thank you for your time! Report this Post to the Staff
