Few finds and ID question

[JeffInMass]

[size=medium]Hi all,

Visited a favorite old park and found a few keepers- a nice 1840 LC, a 1920 Merc and what appears to be a Chinese coin or token- anyone know what it is??

HH!

Nice finds there - No idea on the Chinese(?) coin, but it looks old. Congrats.

Very cool finds, congratulations!

There are a few web sites that list Chinese coins with photo's but unfortunately I didn't book mark any. Funny thing your doesn't have a hole. The ones I find see, to have holes in the center, probably the coin markers were cheating the amoung of copper in each coin, ha ha ha

GREAT digs!

LOVE the LC. I look forward to digging another -- though my chances are limited, for the most part, to the times I'm back home in southwest PA staying with my family. Not many LCs here in Oklahoma!

Nice job!

Steve

Very nice finds Jeff.
I dont recall seeing one of those coins from China ever dug before on the site. Very cool find.

Pretty neat! I have dug a Chinese coin but mine has a square cut in the center.
