    I have had these coins sitting around for years. Is there an online guide that is good at attributing Chinese coins? I have looked at numista some but getting a starting point can be difficult when I don't know the date. I think the 2 or 3 smallest are not genuine. I know the photo is not that good. I could take more if someone wants. It appears that there is at least 4 or 5 different varieties of the 10 cash here. Thanks.

    There are modern cast cash replicas mixed in.

    The copper struck cash coins look good, however mostly common coins. Did not check for varieties so there might be something in there.

    At least 2 of the cash pieces are likely fake.

    Honestly, the 10 cash pieces (15 pieces) are a pain in the rump. I collect Chinese coins and have 30-40 of them that I haven’t had any interest in even identifying. There are so many and most have no value.

    I use the site @Mr. Numismatist uses also. Many closeup pics for comparison.

    I kind of like the late Qing and Republic minted 10 cash coins.
    I guess that's why I got a book on them when I found it used.
    If you are particularly curious about any, I can take a photo of the relevant page(s) and take a try at identification.
