Have fussed with these for some time with no luck. If you can assist with attributions, would be seriously appreciated...

At this point, I'm not sure whether every single Chinese coin ever made is a fake (including those in my own collection), so I won't comment on whether or not your coins might be real.

With that disclaimer out of the way, the top coin looks to me like a Republic of China 10 Cash minted in Taiyuan, Shensi Province (modern day spelling is Shaanxi). Your type was minted in 1919, but there are three varieties with different size leaves, length of ribbon, and number of rosettes. It is my opinion that you have the most common variety (slender leaves and short ribbon).

Also, instead of fussing, you might consider purchasing Krause's standard catalog of 20th century coins. I bet you could find one a few years old for cheap and then be able to attribute your coins more efficiently.

I don't typically question the authenticity of the well-worn, common dragon 10 and 20 cash. Best case, the coin is worth like $1... worst case it's a fake and you can still sell it easily.

Both are real to me. They are common. The bottom one is an Emperor's 10 cash while the upper one is the latter ROC's issue.
