[QUOTE="MadDogE134, post: 18624, member: 1453"]i have a few very old Vietnamese coins that were brought back during the US conflict. i assume they are Vietnamese but not sure. the coins were brought back in a coin book collection. the ones i am needing help with appear to be ancient artifacts, bronze metal as far as i can tell from the green corrosion/tarnish, very crudely made with a square (irregularly) punched out of the center of the coin with 4 symbols molded on both faces of coins. one is extremely large and four are smaller in size. they seem to have been worn or heavily crushed on one side but markings are still visible. i had done a bit of research on them a while back and found 2-3 old vietnamese dynasty coins that were almost identical except for one of the symbols... so i have no idea of their value. i have also read in the past that Vietnam is desperately trying to get back any and all artifacts taken from the country. when i can find my camera cord, i will post a few pics so maybe someone can help me place these coins.[/QUOTE]
