Mid to late 1700s Chinese Coin

[floodplaindetector]

I found some time in between laying our front patio for a couple of short hunts.

Chinese coin is from the time of Emperor Kao Tsung, 1736-1795 – Ch'ien-lung. (Primary Series).
I got a trusted second opinion on this one.

It was about 7-8 inches and read just like an Indian Head penny but to my surprise it was not.
The 1918 buffalo nickel was pulled at the same park at a depth of 6 inches.

Nickels are 1902,1918,1934,1942. Wheat pennies are back to 1920.

good stuff FPD! Yeah....it's amazing how old those Chinese coins can get and from what I understand they made billions of them(?). I dig a few as the Chinese were a big part of the railroad when they came thru. There is also a Canadian coin website (if you haven't already found it) that'll help you date those Chinese coins.....shouldn't be hard to find.

keep em coming..........

You did good for a couple of short hunts.

Those Chinese are always fun to find.
