    Hi everyone,
    Dose anyone have any idea how much this coin could fetch in its condition.
    Its a little dirty but I think the detail is superb for the age of this coin.
    What do you think.
    Thanks

    I am sorry to say, but probably not a lot. I have a bag full of similar Japanese coins - age and condition. They are readily available to anyone in bulk, cheaply, at monthly flea markets all across Japan. If it was the specific coin needed by someone actually collecting the set to finish, or something, then probably could sell for a bit.

    This is, of course, just my opinion - although an opinion based on actual personal experience - and you should get more opinions before making any decisions.

    Good luck!

    Well good luck with that. As I said, I have a bag of the things. When I was going through and identifying them, a few years ago, I had 2 of this exact coin, as well as a few others listed at a few hundred dollars each. I tried to sell and got no interest at all, even at half listed price. YMMV, of course. I really do wish you luck.

    Check the auctions for realized prices rather than using a price guide.

    I suppose it depends on who's looking at the time.
    Think I might wait to see how others do in same condition around these dates before listing anywhere.
    Thanks for replying anyway.

    Had some luck with this coin, It just sold for just over $150 on ebay today, so if I were you I would get them coins re-listed.
