Hello Coin Community folk, I don't know much about ancient Chinese coins so just wanted to know if there is anything here of significance.

That's the problem with Chinese coins. It's difficult to gage value on them and, on top of that, one has to be careful that they are not buying or have bought fakes.

Some look more "authentic" than others...
Myself, I wouldn't attempt to buy any but some people here have enough experience to single out the fakes.

Perhaps in the meantime you could provide a photo of the other sides which may be necessary for full attribution?

The three coins in the left corner look like replicas, the rest look ok to me. Bottom left is a Japanese coin.

It's easiest to order them if they are in neat rows.

They sorta form colums, so I can work with that. Top to bottom, left to right:

Far left:
1. Replica
2. Japan, Kanei Tsuho, 1700s or 1800s. Worth about 50 cents with that casting error.

Left middle:
3. Replica
4. Replica?
5. China, Qianlong 1736-96. Probably genuine and worth about 10 cents

Right middle:
6. Qianlong again. Better shape so maybe 25 cents?
7. China, Wen Tsung 1851-61. Worth a couple dollars.
8. Song dynasty?

Far right:
9. Another Qianlong
10. China, Shih Tsu 1644-61. Looks OK, maybe polished?
11. I think Song dynasty?

Thanks for the info guys. The one with the dragon is the most interesting to me as the other side are crossed flags, first time seeing that but the strike on both sides
are a little mushy.
