    Just asking again if anyone knows anything about this coin. Finding it very hard to get reliable info on the web.

    Once again thanks if you can give me a dig out.

    According to Krause Catalogue there was an 1867 1/2 Dollar and an 1867 10 Dollar but no 1867 Dollar

    See if they are one of these.

    MONETARY SYSTEM
    10 Mils (Wen, Ch'ien) = 1 Cent (Hsien)
    10 Cents = 1 Chiao
    100 Cents = 10 Chiao = 1 Dollar (Yuan)
    Shanghai Tael Series
    The 1867 Tael and 2 Mace coins of ‘Shanghai Tael’ were
    minted at the Hong Kong mint as proposed trade coins for China.
    The Chinese expressed no interest in any form of struck coinage
    and the scheme was dropped. (KM#Pn123-Pn125)
    Kwan Ping (Customs Tael) Series
    Until recently these coins were a mystery, attributed by some
    to Taiwan and by others to Korea. Both attributions were wrong.
    It is now believed that they were struck at the Hong Kong mint as
    possible alternatives to the Hong Kong ‘Shanghai Tael’ patterns.
    The dies were presented to the Royal Mint, London in 1888 from
    the estate of the former Director of the Hong Kong mint.
    (KM#Pn126-PnA130).

    If you can do the job, do it. If you can't do the job, just teach it. If you really suck at it, just become a union executive or politician.

    Thanks for reply guys, going to bring camera home from work tomorrow to get pics up. Did a bit of routing around on the web and found this, its the exact same coin as advertised here, not sure if the guide price is correct though.
