Message:: [QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2949069, member: 78244"]You'll learn eventually. In the meantime, keep a lookout for Chu gold blocks. They are one of China's earliest monies, and they are very rare. You should be able to get a very nice example within your budget. The left three are "Yong An Wu Zhu" coins from the North and South Dynasties period. The fourth from the left is a "Chang Ping Wu Zhu" from the Three Kingdoms period. The last is a "Wu Xing Da Bu" from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Wang Mang fan? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yuppers. I count 4, though one (the Bu Quan all of the way to the right of the second row) is a private casting. I'm looking into buying a hoard of at least 100 Wang Mang coins. I may soon have too much Wang Mang (if such a thing exists). That is my favorite period in Chinese history. Thank you. I feel a little better about spending what I did. It was lot 1662. I will only be selling a few of the ones pictured, so I probably won't break even. But some of the coins (notably Zhi Bai Wu Zhu) are the nicest I have seen for the type.[/QUOTE]
