Am having some difficulty pinning down 3 Chinese coins. The first 2 have mint marks that I can't seem to find. Is there a good systematic web site that guides you through ID of these coins? I can't even find specific instructions on the dates. So far it seems like random pot luck looking at different images. Am hoping the fine folks at CCF can help out. So coin 1 is (apologies for not being exactly vertical) ...

Numister - thanks. That is the same mint mark however when I looked up another site for that province I saw a different mint mark. Now I don't know if 1 is incorrect or both?

The latest link you have provided is Fukien or Fujian province / mintmark. The character reads as "Min".

Please see here: https://www.zmkm8.com/jingpin-6381.html

The label is PCGS, so identification should be reliable.

It's Jiangsu province. Please check the reference that I made a while back. http://gxseries.com/numis/china/china_province.htm

Also do not buy anything from bestcoins - it's just full of counterfeit rubbish

Wow GX, your reference page is definitely infinitely more helpful.

Will probably be referring to it for my future coins too. Thank for sharing.
