Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 04/04/2014 2:21 pm I have just bought an old collection of Chinese charms, along with a few coins. The collection these were from were put together around 1910, and most have old tags attached. I've one a thread for each of them on the ID forum. I've got a fair idea on most of them, but could do with some help on the exact type for some. Any info would be much appreciated! Charm 3. 8 characters. Diameter: 59 mm Weight: 64.35 grams www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Edited by Jeff 11 04/04/2014 2:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 04/04/2014 2:40 pm Actually just nailed this one: http://primaltrek.com/auspicious.html On the great website for Chinese charms, primal trek. Not entirely sure of the the likely age of this piece though? Could it be as late as Qing or is it more likely earlier I wonder? www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff

They're still making and selling such pieces today. 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.
