Here are 6 Chinese cash coins which I'd really appreciate some help to ID. The numbers correspond to the obverse/reverse of each coin, as well as the specs listed below (if that helps) Thanks!

Number, weight in grams, diameter in mm
1. 4.38, 24
2. 3.97, 23.5
3. 2.98, 22.5
4. 3.85, 24
5. 4.08, 22.5
6. 4.2, 22

Photos--note, colors are not true; they're adjusted to lend clarity to the inscriptions.

All are indeed Chinese, and all appear genuine to me. The bottom pics show the obverse. The top pic should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to show the "right way up".

#1: the Jia Qing emperor (1795-1821), Board of Works mint.

#2: the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795), Board of Works mint.

#3: Jia Qing, Board of Revenue mint.

#4: same as #1.

#5: same as #2, but the obverse is shown upside-down.

#6: Qian Long, Board of Revenue mint. The obverse is upside-down on this one, too.
