Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 09/03/2012 1:08 pm They are probably real rather than copies - would need to see the other side to determine the emperor and hence the age. Even so - I suspect mid 19th century and very common. That's the Board of Revenue mint - one of two in Peking (Bejing) My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html 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
JLB New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 09:49 am Hopefully this is the reverse. I'm new here and don't see a "Reply with Quote". By "common", do you mean "of no significant value?" I got them from my grandmother more than 50 years ago. Edited by JLB 09/04/2012 09:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 11:11 am There is no "reply with quote" here, as it was being abused and subsequently was removed. Chinese cash coins were minted in the millions and as a general rule are not rare and therefore have minimum value. However, as with any coins, some varieties are more rare than others.

JLB New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 12:58 pm As to the last post, I had already labeled them as Chinese "Cash", and kinda figured they weren't worth anything. dang Report this Post to the Staff
