do you know how to date these coins
is it in fact from the time periods mentioned above

Ok, I was able to go back and attach pics of my coin in my first post. Your coin is very similar, it should be from the same time frame, but possibly a different mint.

I was surprised to find such an old coin here, my area was settled in the 1890's. I was told that Sometimes these coins were good luck charms carried by people far from china.

Nice find, hope you can get a positive ID.
