    I found this coin in a bin and have not been able to identify it. Any help would be appreciated.

    The symbol of Double Dragons with one ball between them, means good luck and wealth.

    Couldn't find anything except that reference on a fengshui - chinese coin site. World coins didn't have anything like this, not even in symbol identifications. Maybe someone else knows something about it.

    Manchukuo (Japanese puppet state) Y#4 10 fen/1Chiao, cu-ni, dated TaT'ung 3 (1934), mintage unknown, 30¢ VG, 80¢ F, $2 VF, $3.75 XF, $12.50 Unc per 2006 33rd Ed. Those prices are probably low - I was happy to pay my favorite dealer about $2.50 for an F 3-4 years ago.

    The 2009 JNDA catalog prices it at ¥150 (~$1.59) low, ¥400 (~$4.29) middle, and ¥1,800 (~$19.08) high grade.

    Here's one dated Kang Te Gan (1934) that just popped up on the bay.

    If the coins are not counterfeit. It sure is a good way to collect dragon coins on the cheap. Traci :eek:
