This came from a huge bunch of Chinese cash that I bought recently. Can you see what they are? There are at least 3 unique thing about this coin that makes it differ from the average Chinese cash coins. The coin is in a coin alignment by the way. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   01-04-2009, 10:03 AM   #2 (permalink) jazzcoins Coin Collector   Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: upstate Ny or my home planet ZECTAS Posts: 1,510 My Mood: I see some strange doubling with the extra dots south of the rim on the obverse.

Come on, there should be many people in this forum that know something about Chinese coins don't they? If you are impatient, you can check my omnicoin collection for hints and examples. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   01-04-2009, 11:59 AM   #7 (permalink) Ardatirion FVTVE FATVM     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha Posts: 2,663 My Mood: It's overstruck! __________________ My Ancient Coin Collection   01-04-2009, 12:12 PM   #8 (permalink) jazzcoins Coin Collector   Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: upstate Ny or my home planet ZECTAS Posts: 1,510 My Mood: That is a clear indication this is a die clash check out the marks in red. I think there is something else going on with the coin but you are not specifing what kind of oddity. I;m not famliar with the coins design if that is the area your going in and most collectors are not into these types I;m looking at it as a error oddity not a design oddity please specify Jazzcoins Joe   01-04-2009, 12:14 PM   #9 (permalink) kidromeo I'M LEGEND     Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Republic Of India Posts: 1,751 My Mood: Nice coin GX. I'm not so familiar with Chinese coins but one thing is for sure; this coin had had a real bad day in mint. __________________ Visit My Website   01-04-2009, 12:37 PM   #10 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 It's an overstruck coin That's one of the oddities. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   01-04-2009, 12:58 PM   #11 (permalink) Moustan Member   Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Glasgow en Ecosse Posts: 80 My Mood: Is the source of the discolourment one of the odditties?

There's something that's a lot more serious than that. Unfortunately, you might need to read the Chinese characters. A big hint - from what province is this coin from? __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   01-04-2009, 01:28 PM   #13 (permalink) DCH Member   Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 119 Overstruck on a Korean 5 Fun?

It's overstruck over this coin. In 1895 there are two varieties but this is the variety it was overstruck over.
