allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 12/23/2013 11:53 am Coin B is from Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state during WWII. It is 1 1 Jiao, marked as Year 3. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23254.html As far as value, why don't you take them to a coin store? Coin A has some value IF (and a big if) it is real. As far as the cash coins go, I see some that are common. Stuff I can pull out the the twenty-five cent bin at the store. Other things seem less common to me. Or I just haven't seen the mint marks before. Coins with out the 'boo,' the mark on the left reverse of coin 1 are not as common. (Coin 1 to 18 all seem to have the boo mark). But less common is very relative with chinese coins, as these cash coins were very small change. Report this Post to the Staff
