Good thing about Japanese coins are that they are still very affordable because they are struck in terms of millions. Early Meiji coins are...
It's from Hunan province. I call it the single character mark. http://www.gxseries.com/numis/china/china_province.htm There's 19 different...
The Japanese 10 sen coin alone should be worth easily 7 dollars. Nice pickup.
Spitsberg coins? [img] [img] [img]
Coins dated 1912 and later are still easy to identify. I still struggle with the sexagenary cycle:...
It's not a bad price for one dollar - in your coin's condition, some buyer might be happy to buy it at over 20 dollars. Chinese coins are...
