I figure if I don&#039;t sell these at the yard sale on Saturday, I will either give them to a friend, or maybe give them away in a contest on here or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>medoraman: Interesting, I didn&#039;t know you were a collector of these types. I will certainly talk with you about sources if my interest in these coins deepens, however I am basically collecting only Ancient Roman coins at the time. These Chinese cash coins&nbsp; are quite fascinating, and I understand what you say. I want to be able to share that fascination of holding a coin that was struck so long ago and so far away with other people.</p><p>I have never really collected these coins, I have a few others from China, and about 5 or so from Japan, all were gifts from a friend of mine who spent alot of time in southeast Asia during the 1960s and 70s. The oldest one I have is from the 1700s I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>A bit unrelated to my original post and coins, but this is my favorite one that I have, I started a thread several years ago on here and that is how I identified it and most of the other Chinese and Japanese coins of the period that I have. This one is from Japan, Edo period I am told... I just really like the design on what I think is the reverse, what looks kinda like hills or waves. I haven&#039;t seen this design on many, and just think it looks pretty neat.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I was told it was on here a while back: </p><p>Japan - Edo Period &#039;Bun Kyu Ei Ho&#039; 4 mon, c.1863[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
