After years of trying to stay away from Chinese coins due to authenticity and not enough experience I finally caved in. It was all because of everyone here, thats right I got peer pressured into it. Northern Song Dynasty. 960-1127 AD. Emperor Zhe Zong. 1086-1100 AD. 3 Cash 1086-1093 AD. / AE33.8 mm - 13.2g Yuan you tong bao Hartill 16.288 And of course, now I got my first one I'm already looking into getting more. Feel free to share your thoughts or anything in common.

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/chinese-a-few-cash-arrived-today.233123/ I tried to get interested in cash a few years ago and posted the above thread which got many interesting replies. My opinions are pretty much the same now and I have gone no farther into the subject. There are just so many things to collect. So very, very many.
