Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 04:05 am While sorting out my foreign coins, I came across a couple that I'm pretty clueless on. This is the first of the two. I know it's not magnetic, but that's about it. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16851 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 08:15 am Right emperor, HH (Qian Long / Ch'ien Lung), but different mint. Dasalo's coin is the common Board of Revenue mintmark. 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
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 4:22 pm How does the coin look in-hand? How big is it? Cash coins of this type are only worth a couple dollars at most, but they are apparently heavily faked nonetheless. Genuine cash should be bronze and roughly nickel-sized... this one seems to be off-color and unusually rough/pitted compared to the ones in my collection. Hopefully yours is genuine, but this one smells fishy to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 03:53 am It's a fair bit bigger than a nickel actually, falling right between a quarter and a gold dollar. Good news is, that if it's a copy, it at least wasn't meant to deceive a collector because I would have an idea of exactly where it came from. Report this Post to the Staff
