Got these back from NGC.

 

Not exactly sure what these are or know if it's even worth anything. But I assume they are Chinese empire

 

Definately dynasty coins. To blurry for me to tell. @gxseries might have better insight on these older 1’s. Probably need clearer photos

 

I just picked these Three up. Sorry for the piss poor pictures on last 1.

I'm personally not a big fan of the old cast coins. Some were cast in some nasty alloys and I had some mild allergies to them. (not a good sign for a coin collector) Probably a lead-antimony-arsenic alloy? Old Chinese cast coins were known to have traces of them to compensate for low copper content.

I'm certain I have a box of at least a couple of hundred cast cash coins waiting to be attributed but never dared to touch them ever since that incident.

 

Picked this 1 up last night.
1909-11 Hubei 1$

Found this in my pile of 'stashed hoard'. Just don't know how this was hiding all along the time... considering this is somewhat hard to find in this condition. Very nice condition except for one tiny green verdigris spot which doesn't quite show in this photo.



Turns out I haven't got around to cataloging everything...
