chuckster Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello, I am trying to check out several Chinese and Far East coins that I am going to sell. They are indeed very difficult to interpret...especially when I speak/write only English!!! Have been reading lots on this site andlearned alot!!! Thanks for all of everyone's dedication and friendliness!!! I have attempted to attach a file of one of my coins that I saw sell for $6700.02 on e-bay recently...mine is not graded, but pretty nice really!! Will attempt to post pics/scans to online web album so better clarity coming soon...Thanks again for All of You and your Expertise/Devotion!!!....chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi, picture needs to be cropped and need close up of the coin. If it is indeed from Shantung province, the center character has to be "東" or similar to this: 2 cash coins are indeed a lot scarcer but not at that price unless it's in really good conditon or is some kind of scarce variety.

chuckster Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 When you say center piece, do you mean the little symbol on the back that is really little in the "center" of the 4 symbols on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi Chuckster, If you're using a scanner, you may wish to turn up the DPI to allow further enlargement of pictures. The auction you reference is of a mint condition piece. For Imperial Chinese copper coinage, the price jump between near-mint and mint is huge, and from there it generally drops off considerably. A common 10-cash for example, may sell for $1-2 in well-worn condition, $5-10 in mid grade, $10-20 in near mint, but $hundreds or even $1000+ (that would have to be a spectacular brilliant gem) for a nice recognized third party graded piece in mint condition. 2-cash and 5-cash have lower mintages and so far better.
