Chinese cash coin. Anybody have an age estimate?

[Evolution]

I know most of these coins aren't worht that much but I think there are a few rare ones. Can anyone give me an age estimate on this coin, and maybe a possible value? Any help will be appreciated. I don't have a foreign coin book.

-These are hard to ID!

Worth= $1(maybe less in condition it is in)

Thanks oldplacesnofinds. I figured it was one of the common coins. I wonder why their old coins aren't worth nearly as much as ours?

It is because this coin is not considered "old" to them. America was just minting coins towards the end of this coins mintage. America is a new country compared to China. I think China was minting coins around 2500-3000 years ago?

That makes sense. Thanks again for the help with the ID.

I agree 100 percent with oldplacesnofinds!

I rolled your coin upright and added some other stuff, like where it was minted... but he was dead on about the coin and the value.
