Here's another world coin question. I got this coin from a local dealers junk box ( I guess he considers world coins junk becuase thats all what is in the box) for a very low price . I can't read the language that this coin is written in and was wondering where it came from and what it is worth. Pictures are below. All help will be appriciated!!
Thank you for the info on where it came from and what year it is. (Its much older than I expected :smile.) Can you tell me what this type of coin would be worth in this condition? Thanks, Jimmbob82
There were nearly half a billion 1957 one-yen coins made, and they are still found in circulation here in Japan. In that condition, your coin is worth about 1.25 cents
Not much $0.01 to $0.16US Most dealers will pay $0.03 as part of a larger junk foreign collection or usually by the pound.
Well the way it sound from Collector I made my investment back and made a very good profit as well. Thanks for everyone's help on this coin I learned alot about it. Thanks again, Jimmbob82
If you made a nice profit on that coin, congratulations. I would loooove to sell all my older aluminum one-yen coins for multiples of the exchange rate
