can anyone identify "chineese" coins ?

I found these awhile back, they were both on a bead chain, the one on the left is 22 mm, the one on the right 23 mm. The barber dime found near by, as well as some other early 1900's coppers.

I have no grand illusions of them being worth anything, but am curious about the date etc.

Thanks, Rick

Yes Soupie, but I was hoping for something a bit more specific, approximate date , and value maybe.

Now were getting somewhere Soupie. I didn't expect they were worth anything, it's all about supply and demand, for these I expect there is no demand.

If you are right about the age, I'll say that's substancially older than I expected.

I want to thank you right now for the effort you are putting in to this. If you can't read those symbols, it must be a difficult task.

That you both VERY much.

I guess these are my oldest coin finds so far. No value but cool. My previous oldest is also undated, a french coin 1795-1799.

Those Chinese coins are worth about $3 each. I have some that are very similar, if not the same :P.

but no much chances.

I believe they are called chinese cash coins... :icon_thumleft:

I think a lot of false witness unless it is dug from the ground and you see

If this is your way of calling me a liar, and making a fasle post, I assure you I did dig those coins.
I appologize for not inviting you to my country to go on the dig with me so you could have watched me dig them from the ground.

Why not use your head, and think about it. I would never make a false post, but "IF" I did don't you think I would post something a little more exciting than a couple of 3 dollar each junk chineese coins ? like maybe one of these.
