I have found these over the years at colorado gold and coal camps. Everyone is always asking what my oldest coin is. Any estimates? Thanks in advance. The darker one is very thin. img20161024_090359.jpgimg20161024_090553.jpgimg20161024_091850.jpg

Thanks for the reply, I identified 3 so far with one ( Ch'ien-lung 1736-1795)going back to 1795. I'm in the club! I'll have to spend more time with that site. Thanks for the link.

Welcome to the 1700's club, hope some of the others are older.
