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 :)

Hupeh Province -- o aint right --c in cash -- slashing is too shalloe
fake
addendum c in the word aint right
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 :)
All I ever found in my tackle box was rusty hooks and tangled lures!!!
