Jk. Well first of all I think you've seen me verify your coins enough to know this is a Chinese coin. It's a 10 Cash from Tongzhi, boociowan mint. Keep in mind there are 4 branches for the Board of Revenue mint, so that means 4 different varieties. My Hartill book lists these as 5 bucks each, and I would think these would go for 10-15 in the US market.

Citeer: kommodoreI have a new one that seems identical with the above one:
The rim is not an additional variety, but...
Keep in mind about the mint varieties. Although World Coins lists these two as the same coin, you might actually have two different (and official) varieties. I'll look them up in Hartill's catalogue for you, and if they're the same variety, consider trading the worn duplicate. I offer silver for rare Chinese coins.

Because it's not a big deal, according to the books.
The second one is DH#22.1129, six stroke 目 radical in 寶. The first one, the one with the thicker rims, is unidentifiable from what I see regarding variety, so if you want to trade it for $5 worth of coins, I'm very interested.

It's a Xianfeng 5 Cash from Boo-yuwan. There are 4 varieties for this coin, and they are worth 5 bucks each. Although they are considered "very common" to the Hartill catalogue, I rarely see 5 cash, both cast and struck.
