<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ls8driver, post: 767885, member: 15006&quot;]For starters, try Jorgensen&#039;s &quot;Old Coins of China&quot; - you can get it from Bob Reis for around $3.00. You&#039;ll soon learn to recognise the important characters, and be able to quickly tell if a coin is Tang, Song, Ming or Qing. Other less common coins are more difficult. The great advantage of Jorgensen is that it&#039;s small enough to put in your pocket &amp; take to shows, sales etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also Calgary Coins website has an extensive and invaluable guide to cast coins. It&#039;s worth downloading and printing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Above all, get a copy of David Hartill&#039;s &quot;Cast Chinese Coins&quot;. (Also available from Bob Reis). This is the current standard work for identifying cash coins, alongside Ding Fubao &amp; Schjoth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
