Good afternoon all
Firstly, I am delighted to have found this informative forum, Ive spent the last few hours reading through some fascinating posts! I am a part time antiques and collectibles dealer and have recently (this year) started to buy and sell coinage, mainly british and USA. Yesterday I acquired a bag full of what I was told are shipwreck chinese coins, dredged up by a trawler in the South China Sea, I dont know when. I am fascinated with shipwreck salvage so couldnt resist having a punt! I would really like to find out a little more about

these coins, I have delicately cleaned a couple to see the markings more clearly and I would love to know if someone knows what they are, age etc. There is a variety of coins in this lot but I would assume they are all from the same era!

I am looking forward to joining in with this community further as I buy more coins!
Thanks in anticipation
