Can Someone Please Identify This Coin?

Either Chinese or Japanese. Other than that, I'm clueless.
Came with some US coins I bought...

Chinese cash coin, replica. I got one myself.

 

So far, all my Chinese coins have been counterfeit....
NOT SHOCKING haha

 

This is a real one

 

So the difference is ours are more goldish and thinner?

 

Yeah pretty much, plus you can tell they're not bronze like the real ones.

 

I'm not so sure that your coin is a counterfeit-- it is fairly common Chinese cash coin. I have 2 or 3 of that particular type myself. Anyway, your coin appears to be from the Dao Guong era (1821-1851) of the Qing Dynasty.

The pictures didn't work :/

But if it were real, would it be worth anything?

 

Are you sure yours are real 1966? Angels does'nt have the right wear, and people dont usually give these away for free...

 

I have no idea what year they are... I have no idea what it even is

 

At the recent coin show I attended in Tokyo, dealers were selling these in bags for the equivalent of 30 cents each.

If you look in the 1801-1900 Krause World Coins catalog under China, Chekiang Province, Cash, ND (1820-51), you can find this type of coin listed for a quarter or so.

 

Really, I was under the impression that they were much rarer than that....

 

Original coin looks good. Emperor Xuan Zong, Dao Guang tong bao. Hartill 22.578, Board of Revenue, East branch. 1824-1850.
Value ~$1

 

You guys are making me look like a fool, I should have just shut my mouth, eermm, keyboard.....lol

 

I replaced that set of pictures with another set that you should be able to see

 

Coin collecting is a learning experience for all of us

Anyway, here are some of my cash coins. Two of them are similar to Angel's

 

Well maybe mine's real then.....:smile

 

Zach, yours is worth a bit more. R12-14 compared to the OP's R16, I would guess $2-$5.
Puyi(1909-12), Xuan Tong tong bao. Board of Revenue, West branch mint.
H#22.1513(R14) if ~19mm, H#22.1515(R12) if ~24mm.

 

Looks like it is real.

I thought I might not learn anything today, but I just had to squeeze something in.....
