    Hupeh Province Copper Coin.... From 1906 Nope... A Fake.... Thanks Apostata!
    I found this old worn out coin in the bottom of an old fishing tackle box I bought at an estate sale.
    I'm just curious about the history surrounding this coin... I'm sure the value has been worn down to zero with the condition it's in.
    Just a neat old coin :)

    Thank You for any information you can give me.
    Have a nice evening :)

      Thanks Much Apostata!
      I guess that's why I found it in an old fishing tackle box.
      I have read that these coins were often to be found as fake.
      Thanks Much for all the info.... maybe someday I will find a real one in an old tackle box :)
