The Kirin 50 cents is really nice! Probably worth more than what pcgs value suggests. The Szechuan 1926 50 cash is a lot harder to find than what...
Very interesting. My question is - what did it take to earn a dollar back then? Might have something more to compare with. The way I see it is...
A shameless promotion? Should have charged for advisor / researcher's fees...
Can't tell for authencity as I never handled one but it looks like a good chunk is cut off. An example sold here....
There shouldn't even be any portrait image in any koban for starters...
The oldest and only one that I have is this 1817 25 centimes [img]
It would not even be contemporary. Coins back in the days were tested for silver by chopmark. This would fail immediately. It looks like a lead /...
Technical weight is 26.7g. Not genuine.
Either a circulated Russian platinum 3 ruble (1828 - 1845) or a Japanese koban.
They all look genuine to me. I could be wrong but I thought the technical weight is 20.0g? I don't have references with me. They could be worth...

I would have love to buy directly from Japan! Prices seem to be a great zeal. I just never got around to it. I remember there is a coin shop at...
That is a nice koban! One of the coins on the want list but I can only dream. I only managed to get a ginban which is a decent size at 17.25g [IMG]
Ugh wish I bought it! Still thought the price is over the top but 500+ is pretty insane!
From Perth Mint but issued for Tuvalu. Looks great - lots of dangerous creatures to commemorate.
Stork: wow!!! Where did you get your hands on such pattern?! They rarely appear in the market.
Oh wow! I normally don't read banknotes pages but I do have a few of these stashed somewhere. This is really neat! Excellent write up and thanks...
Report, block and then move on I guess. Probably best not to waste any more energy on typing feedback - he / she doesn't deserve any more...
I have no problem buying problem coins as long as the price is right. Some of the problem coins that I own are full of all kinds of problems -...
The timing of proof like is somewhat confusing. The quality of the earlier mint set in particular before 1970s are better described as business...
