Ancient Chinese 10 Cash Coins ID

I do not know lot about asian 10 cash. Most of what is posted here in the ancient part of CCF is before 500 AD. I think yours is later in date. I suggest that you move your post in the world coins section. There will be folks that will be better able to help you there. Don't be suprised if one of the monitors moves your post to that section.

Cool coin:)

The first coin is from the Ch'ien Lung era, and is emperor KAO Tsung 1736-1795. I'm still searching for the second coin.

The second coin is from the reign title of TAO KUANG 1821-1850.

Interesting note about the round cast coin type other the than the reign titles that coin type went unchanged for over 2000 years. There is a lot of history that can be learned from these coin, but sadly because there appearance didn't change they are overlooked by most collectors. I have a little over 60 of these coins ranging from 206 BC to 1912.

I almost forgot, to the community.

20 cents each is fair value. Around here, Chinese cash coins typically end up in the "$2 each" scratchtray. And yes, they are both from China itself, if it wasn;t clear from the earlier posters.

Two other things I'd point out:

They are 1 cash coins, not 10 cash coins. 10 cash coins are much larger and usually have a different symbol on the right hand side. Although you didn't give us any indication of size; I'm assuming they're the size of normal 1 cash coins, about the size of a Canadian quarter or slightly larger?

Finally, the second piece looks very, very odd; kind of a half-melted look. Either it's been in a fire (not at all an unusual fate for Chinese cash coins, given the traditional Chinese funeral practice of burning money and goods) or it's a counterfeit.
