Hey, about that silver monk coin you posted about. I have one that's exactly like it. It's actually chinese, and it's from somewhere between 1837 & 1845. My dad bought mine for me for my birthday probably about 10 years ago. He bought it for $100. I'm actually trying to find more information on it now. If you hear anything else about it, please let me know. My name is Del, and my e-mail address is capwn1@gmail.com. Take her easy. Del
