<p>[QUOTE=&quot;starwarsfreak, post: 122617, member: 5274&quot;]My dad, who is in the moving/packing buisness, brought home some coins that he got from a costomer for free. They appear to be Chinese. They have a dragon on the front, with the words &quot;Kwang-Tung Province&quot; They also say 7 Mace and 2 Candareens&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Another type of the coins that he brought home also have a profile of a bald, somewhat chubby man. There is no english written on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ANOTHER variety of the coins says &quot;Twenty Second year of Kuang Hsu&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins that are most interesting to me say &quot;Shanghai One Tael&quot; dating 1867. I am wondering what One Tael is, is it some sort of measureing system that the Chinese use?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that these coins are silver, because their destintive &quot;clink&quot; that they make together is unlike a non-silver coin, they also have the brilliance of silver. All of the coins date from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. I have 44 of these coins, all different varieties. Does anyone know any information about them and how much each are worth?</p><p><br /></p><p>I figure that they are probably 90% silver, because most coins are made like that. They also appear to be about an ounce, maybe 22 mm wide?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am only 14 years old, so please excuse my bad grammar.:goofer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
