This was only $3.99 so if it's fake I don't feel too bad really. You can see what the card says, perhaps one of the CCF members who specialize in these can help me out with this one (I don't have any others..yet.)

The cash coins for this particular emperor remain astonishingly plentiful. I sometimes can even find a few in the "bargain" bin. I see nothing about your specimen that raises a red flag for me.

Yeah, these ones are extremely common. I will give no call on authenticity, but for the correct orientation of this coin, the first, second, and fourth images are all upside-down, and the third image should be rotated ninety degrees to the left.

Qianlong cash are so crazy common that at $3.99 you probably paid too much even for a real one.
Nice card, though!

Which mint this is, by the way?

I was at a coin show earlier this year where a vender had a bowl of these priced at 50˘ each! But Adam's is especially nice from the standpoint of showing very little wear. Might've been underground for quite some time.

It was an impulse bid because I don't have any examples of these. $2 + $1.99 shipping.
I also liked the fact that it has the card with it that explains what it is.

I just noticed I posted the wrong picture, the reverse of the card (on the other picture) says PEKING BOARD OF REVENUE or something like that
