[QUOTE="Oxford Punter, post: 2531693, member: 82092"]Recently I have been digging through coins that I've acquired over the years. They were NOT what I was collecting at the time, but were picked up around the edges of other trades. Because of that, they were put in a box and ignored -- up until now. I find I am getting a fair amount of enjoyment out of looking into these coins. I admit up front that I am a lowly novice in these types. But... a good deal of my amusement is in that not knowing! Any and all tutelage about these coins will be humbly and gratefully accepted! The left coin is from, I believe, the Han Dynasty, ~206BC-220AD. I am unsure on the differences between the Western Han and the Eastern Han dynasties, and thus where this coin may fit more specifically. How can I know? The middle coin, I believe, may be the Qin Dynasty, 221-206BC. The right coin, (I am taking a shot here), may be from the Song Dynasty. Perhaps more specifically, the Northern Song Dynasty, 1056-1063AD. Am I wildly lucky in my guesses, or horribly off-base? Corrections will not hurt my feelings! On the contrary, I would appreciate the education. Thank you! [ATTACH=full]541206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]541207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
