This comes from my deceased stepfather's collection among these I have about 20 more and I'm wondering what these coins would be worth. I know it's hard to tell from the photos. Is there anybody out there who is knowledgeable with these types of coins that could give me some kind of an idea. Are any of these worth getting graded or should I sell it as a lot? Any information is appreciated.
Looks like mostly common Chinese cash coins of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), various emperors and mintmarks. I can spot at least one Japanese coin in the top picture, the reverse with a pattern of waves. There might be a scarcer mintmark hiding in there, but most likely all common stuff, worth maybe a couple of bucks per coin. With clear photos of each side, they could be more precisely identified, but pretty sure it's not worth having any professionally graded. Hope this helps.
As Parthicus has noted, there are some Japanese coins, perhaps others as well, but most will be found here: https://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/china/china8.htm It's kinda fun, give it a try.
