Actually I was wrong. The Tenpo 2 Shu is .298 gold, and there is also a later Man'en 2 Shu from .229 gold which often really looks like silver....
Oh yeah, the Tenpo 2 Shu. One of the really early ones, actually the only golden 2 Shu type. Have one, too. In most "countries" across the world,...
Thanks, but I'm not new to the forum. Was just not very active lately. That's the obverse: [ATTACH] I love 2 Bu and also 2 Shu a lot. Even have...

Thanks, you are right, link updated to https://youtube.com/shorts/YisAHj4Karo .
Created a video to get your opinion. Would you pay over the value of the grade for this coin? I really would not like to. I do not want a coin...
