<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 3665365, member: 57121&quot;]I checked my Catalog of Japanese Coins and Notes which the Japan Numismatic Dealers Association publishes. I could not find a Showa 64 Proof Set.&nbsp; Rather there is a &quot;Heiwa Gannen&quot; (first year of Heiwa) set which was issued in 1989.&nbsp; Hirohito passed in January 1989.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW there is NO Showa 64 50 yen piece according to the catalog.&nbsp; This might explain why there is no mint set as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can find a &quot;Heiwa Gannen&quot; mint set on E-Bay for about USD15.00.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can speak Japanese I would reach out to one of two Japanese dealers in Tokyo:&nbsp; Taisei or Ginza Coins. You can find either on the Internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
