Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 7:34 pm @SC, your first pic is upside down, but that looks like a cast cash from the Qing Dynasty in China issued by Emperor Mu Zong (1862 to 1874). Added, here is the numista link, although the posted coin is also in kinda tough shape: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19923.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Edited by Spence 08/05/2019 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 8:47 pm Sorry but I don't know the answer to that. Hartill does list estimated prices, but I'm not sure enough of the subtype to be able to speculate much--perhaps $15 if it was in better condition and less than half that now? Hopefully others who know more can weigh in.
