 Coin Collecting presented by Stujoe.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
While hoarding coins due to their value goes back to the beginning of coinage, collecting them as art pieces was a later development.
The collecting of error coins is a modern development, made possible through the automation of coin manufacturing processes during the 19th century.
In coin collecting the condition of a coin (called grade) is paramount to its value; a high-quality example is often worth many times as much as a poor example—although there are always exceptions to this general rule.

Hi Gary, the coin on your website is a 1 Schilling coin of 1794 from the city of Hamburg.
The coin attached to the smooth stone (pendant) is a Chinese "cash" coin probably brought to England by merchant seamen.
The Chinese coin that you are asking for the date of is from one of two dynasties, The Ch'ien Lung Dynasty (1736-1796) or his son's dynasty; The Chia Ch'ing Dynasty (1796-1799) They look so similar, it's hard to tell which one you have, regardless, it's an old coin, but unfortunately not worth much.

 RMS Republic - Discrepancies
The morning paper, the New York Commercial, indicates that $2,290,000 in bars and $2,500,000 in coin was shipped to Paris and $510,000 in coin to South America, for a total gold export of $5,300,000 which is the total that is discussed, but it is not the total of exports of $5,930,000.
After reading the Wall Street Journal, an afternoon paper, this discrepancy appears to be corrected with the new bar total of $2,920,000 and suggests that the New York Commercial had erred by interchanging the 2 and 9, except that the totals do conform to the total of $5,300,000 discussed by the New York Commercial.
The balance of its reported coin exports, or $1,500,000, (apparently the coin component of the January 8, 1909, engagement) was exported to Paris.
