Hi guys and girls,

Im new here so first of all Hello.

I have a few of what I believe to be Chinese coins. These are really not in my best interest as I collect mainly british coins.

I was wondering if anyone can help me identify and help put a value on if possible?

Any response would be muchly appreciated

Thanks

Photos are necessary to give you an opinion.

We have people who know Chinese coins quite well and can help.

You can upload images here if they are less than 300kb. Resizing the image in Paint to about 500 500 and closely cropped around the coin is the easiest way, or there is an image optimizer on the website here.

I agree it sounds like a provincial silver from the last days of the Chinese Empire. Unfortunately, those are the single most faked series out there, so for now assume it's fake and work from there. Is it magnetic?

Do post photos. Unfortunately with Chinese coins, there are just too many counterfeits / replicas / junk.
