The coin was struck in Shanxi Province, which is known for one of the largest coal deposits in China. Somewhat poor compared to the rest of the...
Wow. This reminds me to update this type set photos that I did a while back. https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/puppet_type kanga - I believe the...
I believe the paper alone is worthwhile a mention - if I recall correctly it is a blend of hemp unlike most other world banknotes which are often...
This is mine that I bought more than a decade ago. Still haven't found one that's reasonable and not break my arm for it. [IMG]
Best of luck! I know that feeling. I think there's a few members here that have completed this album - search under Japan dansco in this forum....
I remembered that I had one. From memory, minor rotation of this particular type is somewhat common but when it is off by 20+ degrees, it...
Erm no, a bit of wishful thinking. As much as Japan is awesome to visit, living and working there is another story.
The Olympics 100 yen as well as the 1000 yen coins did circulate to my knowledge - according to my friends, relatives who lived during that era....
I missed the whole topic. Nice improvement! I'm a sucker for mintage figures but I agree that design 1 is a bit too cluttered and busy. Darker...
I'm aware that if one is to fill in an album with nicer xf+ coins, prices go up drastically. The most difficult coin would be the trade dollar...
It's actually the sellers loss. A complete album goes well over 4 figure - perhaps almost closer to the $2000 mark depending on the condition of...
I'm sure you will end up getting an Oban too while you are getting a koban :)
I don't follow Irish or Canadian coins but Japanese coinage have been too undervalued for a long time. Prices were absurdly high back in the late...
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...
Separate names with a comma.
