Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 04/02/2009 7:38 pm It's a Kai Yuan Tong Bao, issued by the Tang dynasty emperors between 621 and 950 AD. An expert in cash coins might be able to give you a narrower date range for your coin. Edit: typo in Dynasty name. 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.

Eero New Member Sweden 9 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 06:08 am DCH, why? Is there something wrong with the coin? Are they valuable if they are authentic, coins from this period? Edited by Eero 04/03/2009 06:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 08:05 am The patina looks odd and the calligraphy is little off from the examples in Hartill. It may be real, but it doesn't look right to me. Compare it to the examples at Zeno.ru http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=3480 Value is probably ~$10. Report this Post to the Staff
Eero New Member Sweden 9 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 08:46 am Sounds odd to me if someone should make a fake coin about this one when it's so low valuable. But u sure know better,I'm not an expert.. Report this Post to the Staff
