Hey Guys and Gals, Can y'all help me with this coin? I have no clue about it except it isn't American    |

.....something Asian.
Prolly not worth a lot but interesting nonetheless. A good coin shop could tell you more about it or someone who understands those characters. ETA: Korean maybe? Asian Cash coins they are called. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/roberts/images/Chousontsuhour150x.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/roberts/coins/Koreancoins.html&h=151&w=150&sz=25&tbnid=wEkQ03xnitYnKM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=95&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dold%2Bkorean%2Bcoin%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=old+korean+coin&usg=__olBFLEautw_O_Hp3mzLGNmTt_EM=&sa=X&ei=hPImT_SJIdPMtgeE6d3jAw&ved=0CBoQ9QEwAw |

Japanese Coins Think I saw your coin (or one very much like it) toward the bottom of the page. Kanei Tsuho for Sale Here are some coins we talked about for sale, Shin Kanei Tsuho Ma-To-Tsu. None of these will "break" you, and they won't make me rich. Those coins will grade "average circulated," whatever that means. Orders under $20 add $2.00 for postage, sent first class domestic. Over $20, add $3 for postage, sent first class with tracking. Overseas, inquire. Photographed coins may or may not be the actual coins being sold (see description for details). The "J" numbers refer to "Shin Kanei Tsuho" catalog by Jones.

The characters are wider and flatter then the real ones I have found on the web. It is copper, but I don't know if that means anything |
