1900 Bronze Coins
To all viewers,
Actually, this old bronze coin was given to me by my neighbor just 75 meters from our treasure site. As what he told me that while he was digging for a compost pit in the year 1980 in his backyard, he had dug a rotten metal plate box with lots of rotten money and coins. He didn't know what kind of money and had recovered some silver and bronze money. He sold it to a person for food and wine. As what he told me, he doesn't know about gold, but when I let him see a sample of gold ring, he remember he saw some and also sold it. But what he had on hand was the rotten bronze coins. There were lots of rotten coins I had seen , but I just got the clear one and clean it. This is the sample of the old bronze coin.

Very nice Find.
 

The Straits Settlements were a British Colony on the Malay Peninsula from 1826 to 1946. The 1900 one cent copper— total mintage 2,914,000— is valued at $1.50 U.S. in Fine condition.
