Ten cash Chinese coin

6 posts • viewed 108 times
I've found in my collection a ten cash Hupeh Chinese province coin. Tried to find some info but nothing apart from some undated ones selling for high money at auction. I'd appreciate some help on this one please. Neil
Looking through Krause 20th century China Hupeh coins, this looks like the type of Y#122, 10 Cash Kuang-Hsu ND (1902-1905). Also in Zeno:

There are some minor variations possible (122.1-122.5) - perhaps with the coin in hand you can identify the exact one.
Thank you Seeker55 for your reply. Is there any value to my coin ? Neil
The value from Krause looks like about one or two dollars. I think it's an interesting piece of history, even with its low monetary value.
Sadly not that much but they are equal to = pennies in a sense so they also have rare varieties that Chinese collectors have start to collect up. Cash coins are extremely valuable when in super high grade uncleaned (ef+) (AU 50+) as almost none survived in that sort of condition due to the conditions at the time, even though some of them minted in huge numbers and never circulated well. However i personally would be more than happy to add that coin to my collection for $1-$2.
Thank you both for your replies. I have cancelled the world cruise and will carry on looking for that elusive coin. Neil
