How do I research a old Asian coin/charm that I found?

Question

I have done "image" searches to compare to, but I can only read English so I can't do much else.

Answer 1

First of all most books on the old charms, are out of print, some for a very long time. I doubt you will find a website with a photo but only with a description of one for sale. If you are interested I do have some of those out of print books. Email me through Yahoo and I will send you a email address, that you can send me scans of it. The higher the quality scans the better. By the way there are a lot of collectors of Oriental coins, that cannot read or write Chinese.
