Same can be done with silver 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents and 1 dollar coins. However, BE WARNED! Fakes of Chinese silver coins abound. If you do, examine each with a loupe, weigh each, and test for equal ring tone with an equivalent known genuine coin before deciding to buy. I would believe the fake threat would not be anything like as great with the bronze 1 cent coins. Report this Post to the Staff

There's no fakes of these ones yet since they're quite plentiful. It's a good way to collect early China Report this Post to the Staff

I certainly wouldn't call this early China though - I'd say this was very much modern China. Early China is Spade, knife etc, money from 2000+ years ago.
