Once Again I will be Needing help with China and Japanese coins

I am finally getting to my foreign coins and have been working on these for over 6 months. I guess I am lucky these were bought many years back and I was just to lazy to get into them. I have many Chinese and Japanese Coins. Just to move on I priced them at $2.00 each I know some are worth alot more and many less but like I said I would come around again and pull them out and place them all together. I have spent hours trying to ID them and have been very successful in many cases but time is time and time is special to me so I will need some help . Yes, I am hoping there is someone here who can look and price them for me when I am ready. I will take many pictures if someone can ID them .. I have many that have dragons on them, copper and as you guys know alot of squiggly marks. These are half dollar size. The price on these range from a few dollars to many hundreds of dollars I must have 30 of these. I would hate to let one go that could be worth a lot of money, plus I would like to place a date on the
2 x 2 s with a value and history of the coin. In addition I have many coins with square holes that I know could go back to the 1600's and some of these could worth a lot.. So, any suggestions on how best to, ID, Value, and Date these little guys. I have researched many but I am still not confident of doing a good job. Any suggestions ?

    @Namvet69
    These websites, ucoin.net and numista.com, often lack reliable information about ancient coins and many Asian coins.

    @HiBucky
    At the same time, there are people on this forum for whom identifying coins is a hobby (this is about me), as well as people who are real experts in this field. Therefore, my advice is that you can scan your coins (using a scanner or camera) and post the images here. I hope we can help you identify your coins.
    Or you can register on zeno.ru and list your coins there. This is a specific resource dedicated to oriental coins.

    I like the idea of posting pictures. I will post some later on to get the ball rolling. I really do appreciate the comments.
