    The first cash coin is

    Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qian Long (Gao Zong)
    Mint: Hangzhou, Zhejiang
    Obv: Qian Long Tong Bao - 乾 隆 通 寶
    Rev: Boo Je
    Year: 1752-1780
    Ref: Hartill 22.351
    Protruding head, one dot Tong


    Second
    is from Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guang Xu
    光緒元寶 Guang Xu Yuan Bao
    Possibly (it's too worn) like mine, at least I can read 部 (Size ??, mine is 32.3 mm)
    Minted in Wuchang (1917-1920), with old dies from Tianjin.

    Third is a
    大清銅幣 (TAI-CHING-TI-KUO) Big Qing Copper Coin
    from Anhui Province
    similar to this one, but it's to worn to be sure:

    Thank you my friend for helping to know the coins better. My phone camera is not that good but the coins in reality are not in real bad condition. I also do have few Song Dynasty coins but they are in pretty bad shape but trying to preserve.
    Are the above coins in picture, in these condition still have any value for collectors in the world market? For me,I believe coinage of China has great heritage like Indian coinage and other world coinage.

    Regards,
    Amitav Paul.
