I believe I Found Silver! 4 possibilities

 

No downside, for that minor cost.

You know you’re really stretching it with “mixed alloy” because the color looks a little funny. When I’m that old I hope I look half that good, and I’m purebred, not a mixed alloy. Some fun coins you’ve got there.

 

Fun haul, my friend......

 

Which bag was the large cent in?

I believe I'd be back for the rest of their foreign bags at that rate, and I don't even collect foreign. Way more than $8 worth of entertainment in a bag like that!

 

Yes those are silver. You got some decent French coins too.

 

A neat group of coins, the kind I like to find in a junk box. The two Chinese cash are:
1. (upside down) Dao Guang (1821-1850) mint of Dongchuan in Yunnan Province.
2. Kang Xi (1662-1722), Board of Revenue mint in Beijing.
The first one is a slightly scarcer mint, though not enough to actually be worth much premium, but a neat find anyway.

 

Thanks Parthicus! Very much Appreciated on the Info for those coins. Amazing that you knew what the coins were.

 

Was in the Foreign Bag

 

Thanks. Wasnt for sure.
