Maybe there will be earlier cash coins in the bottom of the box. The box on top appears to have mostly Romans while the Chinese stuff is underneath.

[USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] was the person I thought of there. Hopefully there's some genuine ancient Chinese stuff, since what's been seen so far looks suspicious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
