Shoesnsocks Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 7:27 pm I spotted these at a thrift store today. The lady said they came from an estate that was donated to the organization. The tag says " vintage coins from 1800's" On the top right coin of the first image you can see that the edge is almost folded over which I thought was kind of strange. Also the square holes are not punched out completely. Report this Post to the Staff

Shoesnsocks Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 10:21 pm Wow, that's hilarious. They were being sold at the thrift store for $60.00 for all 5. Thanks for sharing that. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 06/12/2018 8:09 pm I believe these are replicas, not genuine cash coins from the 1600s-1800s. The style of writing - especially on the Manchu side - is not correct, there's that odd edge you've already noticed, and it would be strange indeed to have five coins from a 200 year-long time period and several different provinces to all be exactly the same size and have exactly the same wear and patina. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
