Please crop your pictures to eliminate the unnecessary background. That will enable you to post larger pictures of the actual coins. Also, post both sides of each coin. The crossed flag design of the last one is familiar, but I can't quite place it, and need to see the other side to correctly ID it. With better pictures I'm pretty sure I can ID 1, 3 and 5, and possibly the others as well.
Regarding image 1, the four Chinese characters in the middle read guang xu yuan bao indicating that the coin is from the time of Emperor De Zong (1875-1908) of the Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty. The Chinese at the top of the coin appears to be zhe jiang sheng zao which translates as "made in Zhejiang Province". The two Chinese characters at the bottom of the coin appear to be dang shi which means "ten cash". The Manchu character at the right edge appears to be je which would indicate that it was made at the Hangzhou mint. Hangzhou is located in Zhejiang Province. The image is really much too small, and it is difficult to make out the characters, but I am fairly confident that the above reading is correct. Perhaps with this additional information, hontonai or another forum member can help identify the coin for you and attest to its authenticity. Unfortunately, image 5 is just too small for me to read the Chinese characters. Gary
Reality ... wow, man... If the coins were real, the first would be from Portugal, the middle from the UK a so-called "Trade Dollar" and the third a Spanish 8-reales. ... however, the first and third seem hard to authenticate from the images. If you have a scanning printer, lay the coins flat and scan them. Otherwise, these images do not much for the coins, except to raise serious questions about their authenticity. With so much fake stuff from China these days, I'm sure you understand...
Agreed, but the second is one of the worst counterfeits I've ever seen of this much-counterfeited coin. I would be very much surprised if that supposedly 26.9568g, .900 silver coin isn't both significantly underweight and attracted to a magnet.
Well 88, the last coin you posted is a Spanish Empire 8 Reales silver piece. It was minted in Mexico City. That is King Carlous IV.
Firstly, it doesn't attract the magnec and secondly i will try to scan again. I used the web cam photos that's all.
