jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 09:44 am Starting in this forum but feel free to move if it's the wrong one. I found several coins in a box of world coins that my late in-laws collected in the 1940s-1990s. I was able to identify most of the Chinese cash coins as from the Ch'ing Dynasty thanks to the "Boo" character on the reverse. But I can't ID this one. Can you help? Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 2:04 pm I'm leaning toward genuine, but heavily worn and then aggressively cleaned. The sand texture in the fields looks genuine to me, but any original patina has been stripped away; Probably soaked in vinegar to sell to a tourist. Regardless, they are very common and only worth a couple bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
