I have a variety of old Chinese coins, and I can ID the bronze ones, but this one I can't find. I'm assuming it is copper, obviously struck not cast.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Richard
I just had this graded by NGC, and they said it was an F-511/518 b.
I can't find a 518 listed anywhere on the internet, and I know the various versions of this token are assigned a rarity number.
Does anyone know what the rarity of this token is?
thanks,
Richard
My dad, who is 95 and was in the Pacific in WWII, said this coin was a favorite souveneer to bring back home. I tried to identify it from the characters, but it does not seem to fit into the normal Japanese system. It is the size of a half dollar.
Any ideas as to what it is?
