<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nick69, post: 2984041, member: 92972&quot;]Thank you very much that link was very informative I did identify a couple other old chinese coins I have even though they are only worth a few dollars. My only thought now about the coin I posted here is: Is this coin even a real coin? It is NOT perfectly flat like a normal coin and it is not perfectly round. Like I originally posted the thickness is from 2 to 3 mm (I didn&#039;t mean somewhere in between there). One side is 2mm thick and the other side where the Chinese character is measures 3mm thick. The background field is not flat either it seems awfully bumpy and almost as high as the characters in some points. But then again I have seen ancient coins 3 or 4 thousand years old that had similar qualities as this one. I have no idea if I have something that is that old though. I doubt that this coin is gold even though it is gold colored (it only weighs 5.5 grams) probably just brass. Is this coin worth a dollar or a hundred dollars or maybe even more??? I&#039;m not thinking of riches but just curious. I know my brother bought this coin at a coin show about 30 years ago. He has passed so I can&#039;t even ask him what he paid for it. I have been collecting coins for over 50 years and I can pretty much hold my own but this coin has me baffled. It just looks so rudimentary to me as if a child made it or someone trying to make it look ancient OR is it? I do hope someone can see this and determine what it is and what it might be worth.
