<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hhearst, post: 10256, member: 777&quot;]Wow, thanks for that very informative post.&nbsp; I should probably state that I am not trying to sell these coins via this forum.&nbsp; I am very new to it, butI am sure there are probably rules against that.&nbsp; I am just trying to learn, though most likely I will sell them at a later date.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, even the inexpensive ones may be fake.&nbsp; Gosh, this is getting hard. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is how I got these coins.&nbsp; I was given a large box of coins that was basically a traveling coin store.&nbsp; The gentlemen who owned the box used to take it to coin shows and flea markets and other events and sold coins.&nbsp; It was about 90% US coins (medals and tokens), 5% Canadian Coins, 3% Great Britain, and 2% other.&nbsp; Mostly inexpensive items, but there were a few nice ones in there.&nbsp; Most of the stuff was inserted into 2x2&#039;s, labled with a price,etc.&nbsp; However, all this Chinese stuff was not.&nbsp; The 24 yaun coins were in a plastic bag, while the rest were in 2x2&#039;s but not labled (except with the work Chinese) or priced.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, these coins owe me nothing.&nbsp; I have learned a lot about US coins, and I am now moving on to the foreign items.&nbsp; But, it is a whole new world with and the difficulty is high when you can&#039;t read the language on the coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On a related topic: Is there a good web reference for learning about Chinese coins?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
