allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 10:23 pm I am in unknown waters here and not even really able to doggie paddle my way through. I have what appears to be a Chinese cast cash coin. I can find similar types of coins in my catalog but I can not find the exact type of coin. It my be to old to be listed in my catalog (1901-2000). Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

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
