    Ancient Chinese "Ming Hua." VF+
    These were cast by the state of Yan between 300-221 BC. The state of Yan also cast the famous Ming knives, whose obverse character is the same as the "Ming" on this coin. Due to the drastic weight discrepancy, the character "Hua" likely does not mean "knife" but is reflective of a monetary unit not known to us today. have this coin priced below any other dealer I can find that has one for sale, so you know you are getting a good deal. This coin comes from an old British collection, and I will include the previous collector's notes. $75

    Ancient Chinese "Bu Quan" VF+.
    This is the much-scarcer Northern Zhou variety from 561-576 AD. This coin comes from a British collection and will be supplied with the previous collector's notes. Try to find one cheaper. $45

    Chinese "Duan Ping Tong Bao" VF
    . This coin was cast between 1234 and 1236 of the Southern Song Dynasty, with the two-year production being the reason behind the rarity of this coin. This is a 5-Cash issue, which is quite large and impressive in-hand. Most US dealers who specialize in ancient Chinese do not have an example of this issue. This coin comes from an old British collection, and will come with the previous owner's notes. $40

    1878 Morgan Dollar, EF-45
    VAM 169, Quadrupled Stars variety. Hot-50 list. VAMWorld has it listed as an R-4. A better-grade specimen of a scarce and popular variety. Coin has probably been lightly cleaned. $40
