mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 10:36 pm This is actually a Chinese cash coin from the reign of a Yung-chen from 1723-1735, KM#-363! As to value, probably around the 8.00 to 10.00 dollar range, plus or minus some, as this is a better mintmark (Hangchou) than some of the more common mints of that era, and that mintmark is that long line with a dash next to it on your bottom picture.

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 11:39 pm Unfortunately, the way the oxidation seems to have been painted on with a brush, makes me think this is actually a modern replica, rather than a genuine coin. Sorry. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
