I know that there are those who can easily id these coins...I am not one of them. Can someone tell me the date of this coin? I dug it this evening. Thanks.

Looks like a cash of Chia-ch'ing, c. 1796-1820:

I think the mintmark may be that of the Ching Mint, Paoting, Chihli Province in northeastern China:

Thanks PBK...I actually just came to the same conclusion after checking a few websites...

Since we're on the topic, I found these about 5 years ago and never dated them. Unfortunately one side is very worn.

Oh man, is that weird. These are from different locations and only now did I realize they are the same.. even taking the pictures it was complete luck I had both turned the same way. Thanks for the ID!

To bad these coins are not worth anything
I have found many, probably 75+
Got into finding out the info on dates and dynasty
But no value, If these were American coins, that were that old...
we would all be sh*)in our pants
Still love to find them though

...but if they were American you wouldn't be finding 75. All relative.

You can still find these for sale at swap meets and the like for about 25 cents to a dollar. I rather find mine myself. I only found one but what a rush to find a coin that's 200 years or more old. They must have cast millions of these coins in the past. I just like to hold history in my hand when i look at my cash coin. Nice find!
