WEEKEND REPORT: OPENING DAY METAL DETECTING - WE NEED HELP TO ID AN OLD RELIC/COIN.

[SilverChirp]

Greetings Treasure Hunters!

This weeks hunt involved both digging AND picking... Our permission was a construction site that had much of the original yard scraped off. This exposed 1800's silver coinage and also vintage marbles, toys and other cool relics. We also located a very old large copper coin, and need help identifying it. Enjoy!

Happy Hunting!

Chinese cash coin?

 

[Plumbata]

ecmjamsit got it, the coin is some denomination of "Republic of China" cash (50 or 100 it looks like), i think from the early 1920s and also think they were produced by several mints. I have a pile of 10 and 20 cash examples but that is a beast, cool find!
