<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1377360, member: 4373"]Here's one bizarre coin that arrived recently. It's a Sichuan 200 cash which normally is struck on fresh planchets instead of some random older coins. There's a bit of rotation error but that's beside the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1002400.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What the original coin was it seemed to be a Sichuan 1906 20 cash.
