The big brass “coin” with round hole is also a charm. Probably $200-300 value. Sometimes they sell up to $500. The lock charm was likely cast by a coin casting foundry that’s why it’s a numismatic charm. $100-200 value. Likely these are from mid-1800’s. Highly collectable to collectors of Chinese coins.

@@CADRollHunter please check out my coin channel as I show and tell my collection of similar material. I’m also in Canada.

Glad you enjoyed it, Erwin! Thanks for watching!

Great video. You've provided a resource for me to look up some Chinese and Provinces coins. That one piece you couldn't identify with the tiger looks like to be a good luck token given to someone, or possibly a birth year medal, from the Year of the Tiger.

Someone else commented on here with their thoughts as well. Very intersting! Lots of fun going through stuff like this!

@greggelato Ай бұрын

Great information, James! You need to have a Google lens demonstration, how to episode.😃

Not a bad idea. This was actually the first time I've used it. Numista can only take me so far!

@lbohna Ай бұрын

The unidentified one is similar to a wind chime / wind bell finger.

Some interesting stuff in there, for sure!

The cash coin at 12:53 is upside down. Emp. Dao Guang 1820-1850 reign.

@CADRollHunter Ай бұрын

Yes, I can see that now! That character at the top is upside down - I couldn't really make it out and wasn't sure I could identify it - thanks again for providing some info!

As always, I always love them old coins! (PS, I maybe repetitive on saying this, but I would be hoping to also get a few of those black memorial toonies for my collection once you sent it on the mail.)

@CADRollHunter Ай бұрын

I'm sure there will be a few goodies in there! ;)

Thanks, this is always lots of fun when I get a chance to look through some uncommon stuff!

@billdapp2491 Ай бұрын

Very cool! I too am interested in a Google Lens demo. That one coin that was over a thousand years old is way cool!

Isn't that crazy? Canadian and American coinage just doesn't got back very far at all in comparison!

As a collector of 8 real pieces i can confirm that the date is in fact 1837. Normally the 1830s coins from the Zacatecas mint came very weakly struck. usually like a 70 to 80 dollar piece.

@CADRollHunter Ай бұрын

These are nice chunky pieces of silver!

Regarding the Japanese coins: unlike currently-circulating Japanese coins, the kanji on the examples you have are actually read from RIGHT to LEFT. The character 年 means "year" and is the last character to be read in a Japanese date. If I were to type it out normally, the date (on the 10 sen, as an example) would actually be read 明治二十七年 (Meiji Year 27). Japan dates its coins by the number of years their emperor has been on the throne. All coins denominated in sen were demonetized in 1953 as inflation rendered them valueless (but they retain a numismatic premium). Also: at 16:28, you said 5 sen but it's actually 10 sen (十銭). Regarding the Chinese coppers: The Hu Poo and Tai-Ching-Ti-Kuo copper coins (shown at 13:25) can have different mint marks in the center of the four characters on the reverse; it consists of a single Chinese character in a raised circle. Honan and Szechuan provinces are particularly desirable.

I really appreciate all of this additional info - this is very helpful! I have very little experience with Japanese and Chinese coins, and certainly can't read the characters! The technology we have is very helpful, but I'm grateful for folks like yourself who chime in to share their knowledge and help fill in some blanks!

A week ago, I went to Taco Bell for two dime rolls (for whatever reason) and thought the edges were suspicious. Once I opened those rolls, I found 38 silver dimes in them! One of my friends also got a roll of dimes and found 24 silvers!

That's a great score! Fantastic!

The Kirin 10 cent should be one of the most valuable of the lot. Catalog is notoriously way too low like $20-30. Market value is more like $100-$200+ depending on grade of course.

@CADRollHunter Ай бұрын

Wow! That's pretty incredible - thanks for letting me know!

hey James I would like to ask if you would like to join us on a great Canadian nickel hunt and come and hunt with us live on a Saturday we would love to have you as our guest your knowledge of varieties will help us on our hunts so if you are interested let us know Thank you have a great day

@CADRollHunter Ай бұрын

I'd love to, but I'm not sure I'm exactly set up for a live stream. I'd definitely need some help, that's for sure! As it is, I'm spending all of my free time on a renovation and music at the moment, so it might be a bit until I'm available! I appreciate you asking!

Hello have question for you I get some of I collect buying off ebay, not to get rich but I like these old coins over lot of the junk the mint puts out today. One question I have for you is some of the ebay, sellers try and ask too much. Saying coin is rarely kept one guy saying this 89 nickel worth over 500 dollars. Another thing some don't give good descriptions of the item you can email me your response please have a nice day

There are lots of scams on eBay - be very wary of them. Lots of sellers post common coins for ridiculously high prices hoping to make a sale to someone who is uninformed. Yesterday, I saw a post for a 1947 "Dot No Dot" nickel. (i.e., just a regular 1947 with no maple leaf and no dot. In the description, they said that all 1947 nickels were supposed to have a maple leaf or a dot and that this "error" coin was missing the dot. Well, we know that's just no true. Millions of 1947s were minted withouth the maple leaf or the dot. The Dot is the rare variety, of course. Unfortunately, some people fall for these scams. I should do a video on one of these...
