All are from China or Taiwan.

The coins with crossed flags on one side and a stylized tree on the other are from the early Republican China, 1920s if I recall.

The coins with a dragon on one side and four characters arranged around a dot are going to he mostly late imperial provincial issues, ca. 1880-1900.

Don't recognize the others offhand.

As with all old Chinese coins, we customarily caution that "entrepreneurs" over there will counterfeit just about anything. Thankfully, all of yours appear to be genuine. Bad news is that in that condition, there is probably not a coin in this lot worth more than $5.

The last and third last coins should be the same type of coin (Chinese). It appears the last is year 29 (1940), but the other's date is on the other side. Their denominations can be determined by their diameters.

The middle coin of the second last row would be a 20 cash coin from China.

For references on the other coins, here are some links that should cover the dragon ones (two are quite worn, so the links may or may not cover those)...

As for the flag ones, I found a link for the various denominations of the Ho-Nan ones, but not a specific one for the other flag coins...

Well, I found some more, lol. I have scanned everything found (including coins from previous scan) front and back. From the previous posted links (thnx again) I have a few ideas of what I have.Anyone see any stand outs? What should I do with these next? I hear the Chinese market is "hot" right now.

The only ones that stood out to me was the middle coin of the second row of the first picture, and the three top coins of the last picture. For the latter, they can be found here. I cannot seem to find a match for the first though, specifically with the middle right symbol, which leads me to believe it is most likely nothing too special.

As for what to do next, that is your decision to make. You can keep them, sell them, let the obsession hobby grow and add to the collection, etc.. It is your decision
