<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2579913, member: 81887&quot;]Here&#039;s my IDs, I welcome any corrections.</p><p>All your coins are Qing, or Manchu, dynasty, the last dynasty to rule China before it became a Republic in 1912.&nbsp; The mint marks on Qing dynasty cash reverses are in Manchu script, except on some earlier coins which have it in both Manchu and standard Chinese, like your coin 3.</p><p>1. (coin should be rotated clockwise 90 degrees) Qianlong (1736-1796), Board of Revenue mint in Beijing.</p><p>2. (reverse side is shown first) Guangxu (1875-1908), Guangdong province mint.&nbsp; Note that this coin is actually machine-struck on modern equipment, but still follows the ancient design of cast coins from the previous 2000 years.</p><p>3. (rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees) Kangxi (1661-1722), Tung-ch&#039;uan in Yunnan province.</p><p>4. (rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees) Xianfeng (1851-1861) looks like Board of Public Works in Beijing but I&#039;m not sure due to the poor condition.</p><p>5. (rotate obverse 180 degrees) Jiaqing (1796- 1820), Shaanxi province.</p><p>Nothing valuable here, at least in resale terms, but these coins have seen a lot of history, and the personal worth to you is incalculable.&nbsp; Please post more when you get a chance, I enjoy figuring these out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
