Interesting - I only have one in this date. Don't know if I have spares to check [img]
If I knew how to manufacture such albums, I would! I've seen a seller who sold a complete set of them (just missing very few key dates) a while...
Actually I found the normal 100 yen a lot harder to find compared to the commemorative Tokyo Olympics 100 yen.
I'm certain that it's Da Tong 3 (1934). Da Tong 2 1 fen coin is actually very underrated and does not appear in the market often. Price in...
Both are wrong and there is no need for magnets etc. Details are completely wrong and could not have been manufactured back in 1700s with the...
Not genuine. If they are genuine in that condition, you would be looking at four figures easily.
Got to admit it's tempting mlov43. At the same time, as I've held onto it perhaps close to a decade (time flies pretty fast!) - I've noticed that...
49 coins are shown out of a total of 60+ holes. Clearly some of the more expensive coins are not included. It's a bit deceiving as the album shows...
The real problem is not the purity of gold but the origins of them. How would you like it if they came from questionable places I.e. mines with...
I think the buyer is under the impression that the album is full - it's somewhat hard to tell. A trade dollar coin alone is a $1k + coin but I'm...
It is a custom set. Note that there was never an official Showa 64 mint set so this is a niche product. Some would pay a bit more for such set....
No such mint set exist for Showa 64 in either UNC or proof. I believe no 100 yen was struck for Showa 64 as well. However I am certain there are...
I'm certain it's genuine. However there are better choices for that price.
Nice one! Congrats. When I saw the topic of two bears - I thought of this first [img]
I don't agree on the silver comment. Japan in 1500s were supplying about 30% of global silver demand. Japan actually does have rich gold and...
It's interesting to note that the 'yuan' character was used in official coinage at different years between Japan, Korea and China. Japan's first...
I think the more you research about Japanese coinage, the more you'll find out how the Western world abused their power and squeezed everything...
None are genuine. They do appear at auction houses once in a blue moon - be prepared to pay an arm or leg.
I believe there are genuine examples of such trials when the mint was first establish. (in Nanking? Perhaps around 1940s? I have to look it up)...
I would not base coin authenticity on where the sellers are located. That's just poor numismatics. Who knows, the fakes could be made in Eastern...
Separate names with a comma.
