cerick Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 07/22/2023 5:26 pm Thank you very much for the help. I did not realize that the two coins were Japanese. I have a very hard time with the Chinese Coins. I believe it says Tong Bao... But still not sure of the age.. If anyone can give me an idea of the age of the Chinese coin, I appreciate it. Thank you all for the help Report this Post to the Staff
