bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 7:41 pm I think no. 3 says e¡º æ²» e€š å® (shun zhi tong bao) Having no characters on the reverse would make it a 'type 1' coin made between 1644-1645AD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunzhi_Emperor I really don't know much about these so hopefully someone else can confirm Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 7:57 pm I think 4 is xian feng zhong bao (- '- ä¸°e€šå®) cast at the Suzhou, Jiangsu mint. 1850s? The Chinese characters above and below the square hole on the reverse are dang shi (- - "å) which means the coin is a Value Ten (10) or a denomination equal to ten cash coins.

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 8:25 pm I think 6, 7 and 8 are all Fuchou Mint, Fukien Province. I also think 8 is a 50 Cash, again xian feng. I cant comment on authenticity - looking forward to hearing from the experts as I'm trying the learn about cash atm. Report this Post to the Staff
