[QUOTE="SorenCoins, post: 8357925, member: 73708"]Just received my most recent purchase--a Chinese cash coin. This is my first cash coin from an emperor other than the Qianlong Emperor. This one is under the Daoguang Emperor (reigned 1820 to 1850). [ATTACH=full]1483401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483402[/ATTACH] Prior to purchasing it, I used my copy of Hartill's [I]Cast Chinese Coins [/I]to identify it and determined it was [U]Hartill #22.597[/U], which would make it from 1824-1850. Can anyone else with Hartill's book tell me if they agree or disagree with this identification? Also, it is a little grainy. Normally, a grainy surface would make me think a coin is fake, but I think with cast Chinese coins this is a normal characteristic. I have heard of so-called "Degenerate Examples" being common with some Chinese cash coins, but I do not know much about them. Does anyone here know anything about "Degenerate Examples," what they look like, and if this may be one? Thank you in advance![/QUOTE]
