Very nice! Which coin was the last one you needed to complete the collection? Also, will you be adding the commemorative coins? Here's my set as...
Currently, the Philippine centavo, Trinidad & Tobago cent, and Turkish kurus are the lowest I can think of, at about .2 US cents or slightly less.
All modern Japanese coins are still legal tender, including the old 500 yen and the early series like the large 50 yen and not-holed 5 yen.
If you don't mind answering, which ones? The only rarity in that period I know of is the 1987 5 pesos.
Those are awesome. That's one of my favorite current series.
That San Fran AtB looks like a business strike to me.
Nice coins! Those are pretty impressive for junk bin finds. I grabbed these for 20 cents a piece the other day: [ATTACH] I love finding stuff...

I think even by US standards it's Fine. At best it's a very low VF.
I was just looking at examples of these last night trying to figure it out myself. I'm pretty sure yours is low relief, which is common with...
France - 1835-K 5 Francs [IMG][IMG] My first silver 5 Franc. Paid 13.50 for it.
It is a halfpenny, and Jersey for a time had 13 pence to a shilling rather than 12.
Cameroon - 1972 100 Francs [IMG][IMG] Got it in a bulk lot for what came out to a nickel a coin. This one is a mule and has a pretty decent...
The China ones go for a good chunk of change, so even less than that per coin when you take that into account. Sounds like a good deal to me if...
