    I have 9 coins that look to be chinease (sorry if spelling wrong). I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them and possibly how much there worth. I got them from my uncle at least a year ago. Any help would be highly appreciated.

    I could be wrong, but it appears that the coins aren't in the same relative positions in all the pictures.

    There is a Japanese Showa 10 (1935) 2 sen and a Showa 9 (1934) 1 sen in the mix, but that's about all I can tell. Decent pictures would be very helpful.

    Okay - the top left is a bronze Japanese 2 sen, Y#18.1, dated Meiji 7 (1874), worth <$2.

    Top right is a copper Japanese 1 sen, Y#171, dated Meiji 9 (1876), worth <$1.

    Even from the improved pictures I can't identify the one on the bottom right. If it's a Japanese minor, in that condition it's worth <25 cents.

    The rest appear to be Chinese Provincials and Imperials, but a couple may be early Republics.
