Need help Iding Chinese Cash coin! Clearer Pictures! :)

[Detectingfreak]

Hey guys! This is my 2nd chinese cash coin from my uncles house. It was found on November 30th 2008. Finally cleaned it up. The last coin I got had a smaller hole then this one. This hole is huge and the symbols look different. Can anyone help me? I've look at some of the chinese cash coins websites and can't find the exact picture of my coin. That I know of...Maybe I'm just blind.

Thanks for all those who are willing to help me

I've found a few Chinese coins and enjoyed the process of indentifying them. I found this site helpful. http://www.sportstune.com/chinese/index.html

I have some like that. Think they were made in the 1700's, not much value to them.

One of the people commenting said that they were pretty common. Yes, but that being said, there are a few, that look like the common ones, but due to one of the Chinese characters being shaped a little differently, become quite valuable.
The best book, by far, for id'ing Chinese coins is the newest, as far as I know. It is "Cast Chinese Coins", author David Hartill.
He did extensive studying, and has determined, based on differences in the character shapes, when a certain coin was minted during the King's reign, and has assigned a rarity code to each coin. Many good books before his, but his far outshines them all.....more pictures,
and an abundance of info not in any of the other, more established books. From a coin dealer, probably will run $55.00, maybe $60.00.
But I do know the address of a coin dealer in NY State, who has them for, I believe, slightly below $50.00, if anyone is interested.
I will simply give him your email address and let him send you the info. So, all can understand that I have no vested interest in having you buy the book. It is simply the best.
