I've done a bunch of searching online but couldn't find any with the exact same characters. I found some that look fairly similar and seem to maybe be 1800's Chinese? Any help will be be greatly a appreciated! Have a great day! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

But I would hold out the sugestion that this very well could be a recent copy. It would explain the style looking odd. Report this Post to the Staff

But if you want to get really old coins, you can get coins which are more than a thousand years old for less than $10. Quote: I will never go against Medieval as he has forgotten more than I will ever know on such coins Thanks for the compliment, but quite often I got the feeling that I forgot more than I ever learnt. 'manymore' is probably the one, who knows more about Chinese coins than anyone else on CCF. Report this Post to the Staff

And, unless the OP has larger hands than mine, the coin is smaller and thinner than it ought to be. I'd call it a recent copy. 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
