[JackalopeZL1]

Anybody have any good links for Chinese Coins dates? At least I think it is a Chinese coin or heck maybe just a Fake? I have looks but have not found anything yet. I am from a town that back in the 1800's days had a huge Chinese population. I found this coin Right near were I found a 1897 silver fork last week.. thanks for any links or info in advance. BTW it rang up a 12-35 on the CTX
