Pheroow Valued Member United Arab Emirates 283 Posts	Posted 06/16/2013 06:58 am Hello guys, so recently I bought this old coin from a guy at ebay. I thought the price was reasonable and the person had lots and lots of good feedback, which probably shows his items are authentic. I found this particular piece that I bought interesting, and I hope someone can help me identify this coin. Which date does it go back to? And who ruled during the production of this coin? I am also sure this coin isn't that old. Here is the ebay link to it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25127659526....m1497.l2649 Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16916 Posts	Posted 06/16/2013 6:16 pm Qing Dynasty cash coins are extremely common, even the ones that are now a couple of centuries old. They simply made so many of them. The Revenue Mint coins of this emperor's immediate predecessor, the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795), are probably one of the commonest coin types on the planet. $3 is probably even a little on the high side for these coins. 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
Pheroow Valued Member United Arab Emirates 283 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 1:40 pm Don't worry about the shipping cost, it's cost was free to me because I bought more than 20 coins from this guy. Also, Sap thanks for the info. Much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
