Smartone, the 10 cash you listed is very close indeed, but the center circle on the obv. is different (it is hard to see on the scan). The symbol within the coin I have is very similar but not exact to the symbol at the 9 o'clock position on the coin. Would this be a different province or a varient of the same coin?
left to right: qing dynasty, no mintmark (should be beijing), ROC comm. creation of the ROC, ROC comm. creation of the ROC more common variety, the last one is from hupeh hu-bei simp. chinese as SmartOne said but the middle word aint peh (bei) it is yue (hupeh) but its like calling california CA.
@ctucker there are a lot of varients for a coin of a province in ROC. the mintmark in the center is issued by the treasury (hu bu 户部) and the mintmark on the left or right is a locally issued one. qing dynasty issues say tai ching copper coin and have no mintmark (i havent seen one yet). also, the 9:00 position letter is the 户 of the 户部 which means treasury not 鄂.

Smartone understood what I was talking about, with the 9 o'clock symbol and directed me to the coin I was looking for.
Can anyone help me with the last (broken) 1 cash coin? I see some that look close but none that are exact, and there are a lot of coins that don't have a picture.
So.... Being rare, i assume it isn't in the catalog yet? I would love to add, but I have no idea how to go about finding the information,even with the links y'all added, since I don't read Chinese. If someone else would like to add it, I would appreciate it.
Citeer: frank110119I am a Chinese, if those coins are not fake ones, they would be have high values. But I couldn't identify them, China has too long history.
hello, all info i have just posted above your comment....... thanks
