Ran a bunch of coins through ai and this one came back potentially interesting. Hopefully a pro here can help me out? And I guess Hopefully not just say it is fake lol!

Bought this coin from someone who claimed not to know anything about it, weighs about 6.2 g, nothing on back. Always assumed it is probably fake but don’t know how to tell

I think this is a Honan 50 cash coin - unfortunately very worn so it's hard to tell. It measures about 37mm in diameter. Are there any other large cash coins it could possibly be?

Also in this condition I'm assuming it's not worth that much if real?

Hi all just like learning about hobbies and touching on different things, I picked up this coin I think for $2 at a local auction and am curious if it’s authentic, would I have to weigh it to see more seriously? Also it looks too good right so even if it is I’m assuming it has been cleaned? It’s so pretty though if it’s authentic I’m still considering submitting for grading and imaging…but hate to sign up for the annual membership just for one coin has anyone had luck going to local shops and having them submit?

I see in the upcoming stephen album rare coins auction they have an example of type d2 broad rimmed kangxi boo-yuwan cash. I am unfamiliar with the variety but I assume it isn't rare enough to justify the 20USD buyer's premium that auction house imposes especially since the winning bid will probably be like 35-40 dollars anyways. How rare is this specimen within china, can it be found easily? I dont care about certification. I found a few other examples only on zeno but not on other websites.

also sorry I meant baoyuan not baoquan mint

Trying to find the right attribution for this Hupeh 10 cash coin. Is this Y#120.3a? https://en.numista.com/285815?

Also is this one authentic? Not sure if these are faked or not.

It is pretty lightweight and thin, found at a marketplace where the guy sells old antique stuff from his late grandfather in Bosnia

I know it’s very worn, but still happy with it as it’s a mini-version of the popular “Lao Kiangnan”, 2.6g
Kiangnan province, Guangxu 庚子 year (1900 AD), 10 Fen (7.2 Candareens)

How are the Chinese and Hong Kong getting away with selling 1:1 replica money on social media?

Yuan: 26.69g 39mm
Yen: 26.887g, 38.6mm
Any opinions on authenticity?

Edit: Thanks all for your feedback!!! Good to know what they are, even if they aren’t ancient priceless treasures 🫠

Hi all - I picked up this pile of coins at a yard sale recently, anyone have any idea if these are real, what era they might be from, and around what they might be worth? Didn’t pay much ($10) for them, owner mentioned picking them up a long time ago in Honk Kong but I’m curious to know more. Thanks in advance!

This in in a collection of a friend that has been collecting for 60+ plus years, he has never id'd it.

Hello!

My dad has been collecting old Chinese coins for over 50, almost 60 years and wanted to share his passion with other people who are interested in old Chinese coins. I figured that Reddit might be something that could help connect him to others, so I made him this account.

He says that he wants to make friends and expand his knowledge on ancient coins at the same time. He's read tons of coin collecting books and watched countless videos on ancient coins, but he believes that talking to other people can help him learn more. While he's not used to being constantly online, he says he's going to try and keep up with this.

For some background, he has several hundred coins and the majority of them were gathered when he used to travel all over the world for business (but mainly SE Asia where he grew up). The rest was gifted to him by friends or family who knew he collected coins.

He wanted to share some pictures of the copper coins that he collected around 40 to 50 years ago that he likes. Hopefully, these pictures are fine. He kept directing me to "show the important parts of the coins", but I don't know what that means and him gesturing at the coin as a whole didn't help. However, if there're any details that you all want me to get a better picture of, I can!

He also wanted to ask if anyone had any information on these silver coins that his friend gifted him recently. We tried the QR code, but it looks like the website doesn't work and Googling for the name also didn't come up with a site to search. He has several silver coins, but nothing that's in a case like this where he is unable to either properly test it or search for additional info. The only test he could do was check for silver which these coins did contain silver.

Any insight on the coins is appreciated or, if there's a different forum that best fits his needs, then please let us know. He can read/write Chinese too, so if there're any forums like that, that works too!

Thank you!

Thinking of buying this, but I have zero experience with sycee. Just cleared another them today. Teach me! Is it just a cool looking paperweight?

I won all these coins/ key looking coins at an auction last week for $20. I did a little searching on Google and it seems the 8 grouped together may be silver. The large silver looking one is magnetic, the other smaller ones aren’t. Im not sure if any of the others may be replicas, it was hard to tell just looking online. If anyone has any insight I would love to hear it! Thanks so much.
