    Yes, Chinese cash coins. Not sure of whom.

    I have the one on the right. I want to say Kwang-tung. but maybe I'm wrong.

    These two coins are very cheap. 10 cent bin coins.

    Left: Qianlong (1736-1795), Board of Revenue mint. Right: Guangxu (1875-1908), Guangdong mint. Worth less than a dollar each.

    My mistake, looking back at my chinese coins, @Parthicus is right.

    However, we both agree on the value. These are "junk bin" coins.

    I wouldn't ever call a coin junk, as I'm a junkie :)

    In case you have others, here's a great site that helps you to identify Chinese coins by having you answer a series of questions. Each response narrows it down and eventually filters to a much smaller group, against which you can then do a visual match up.

    The vast majority of Qing dynasty coins are pretty worthless.

    I got a really nice generic Qing for $1

    Looks like either the domain no longer exists or the domain registration expired.

    Oh no, it's an established site and still good. Here's what happened. When I first entered the website address, I added an "s" after "coin" making it plural. When I realized my mistake, I went back to change it. But, for some reason, when you click on it, it still links to the first (incorrectly spelled) www.calgarycoinS.com. I don't know why - even though I've already deleted the "s." If you enter the address independently, you'll get to the site alright. Sorry about that.

    Looks like the link title was edited - the hyperlink behind it remained as the incorrect site.

    @Evan Saltis, so help me out here - if I entered a misspelled address, how do I correct it, so that it would link to the corrected site? Maybe I should've erased the whole thing and retyped (instead of just deleting the "s")?

    Here, highlight the link and click the chain icon which will bring up a bar where you can decide where it links to. The feature is there so I could shorten a long URL to both shorten my posts, but also say exactly where the link will bring you. Screen Shot 2020-06-09 at 9.04.32 PM.png
