Well I went out out to my favorite park today and found this cool old foreign coin. It was a good 10 inches deep. Im assuming its pretty old but know nothing about it. Do any of you have any idea what it is and how old it is?
Thanks

It's a Chinese Coin cool find !!!!
 
Well according to this website http://primaltrek.com/chinesecoins.html it looks like this coin. But still not sure on the date!
 
i'm not sure what it is off hand, but you could always check this website. http://www.zeno.ru/ Its the Oriental Coins Database. There are a lot of photos of Oriental coins there but its kind of a pain to sort through them all. hope this helps.
 
Well from what I think I understand it is a cash coin from the Gao Zong erra from 1736 to 1795. Which truly blows my mind considering it was found in Nebraska! Either way it is truly awesome and I can officially say its my oldest coin and it will probably never get beat for age! :laugh:

Sure. Just skip past the seated and the busts and go right on back to early to mid 1700's. You're in REALE era's now. Way to go man. Keep plugging away and making those finds. Thanks for the pictures. Did that ring up in the copper range or silver range?

You need to do some digging to find out why that coin was in Nebraska. Very cool find and the story behind may be even better.
 
Ehh who needs a seated or bust coin :laugh:! To be honest I thought it was going to be an indian head penny. It was 10 inches or so deep and ringing up as 12-34-36 Was supprised to see what it was and even more suprised to find out the date range. Truly nutty for Nebraska! I guess it goes to show you, you never know what has been dropped no matter where you are. :clap:

It may not be surprising to find a Chinese coin in Nebraska since the Transcontinental Railroad went through Nebraska. Many Chinese help to build that railroad. Granted the coin would have been around a hundred years old by that time.
 
That is one sweet find! Hopefully I break the 1800 barrier when I'm up in the northwest! :clapping:
 
I hope I get a chance to meet up and do some hunting somewhere! If not Ill deffinatly be curious if you happen to find anything :)
