Chinese coin & a wheat

[Otis Campbell]

Got out in between down pours last week and just too darn wet to do much! Went to a house that belonged to my Granny Gross for years and found very little. The one that stuck out was a Chinese coin and what I find out about it it seems quite old. The other was a wheat so eroded away I can barely make out the 1910 date!

Hey, at least you didn't get skunked! Some of those Chinese coins date back to the 1700's. When and how did you find a gold coin!? I would love to hear that story. HH, Dave.

Nice finds. The only foreign coins I ever find are Canadian.

I think that Chinese coin is a very interesting find! I hope you are able to find out how old it is.

:congrats:

Cool. For the longest while my oldest coin was a Chinese coin like yours.
