<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 3551788, member: 57121&quot;]I was in Japan when the announcement of the new era (Reiwa) occurred. The TV news carried pictures and interviews of the long lines of people wanting to buy the Un-circulated sets of the last Heiwa issues.&nbsp; I asked several local dealers if they had the sets before leaving.&nbsp; None did. A friend of mine who recently visited Japan also looked for both the mint and un-circulated sets at his favorite dealers.&nbsp; No joy.&nbsp; Instead he bought the new 500 yen Reiwa Enthronement coin at a reasonable price from a dealer.&nbsp; It is a cupro-nickel coin.&nbsp; To the best of my knowledge it does not yet have a Krause # nor a JDNA designation.&nbsp; If you want the gold Reiwa issues that are forthcoming you must register your interest with the Japanese mint by the end of July.&nbsp; Here is some further information in English:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://news.coinupdate.com/japan-gold-coins-celebrating-the-accession-of-emperor-naruhito-announced-by-the-ministry-of-finance/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://news.coinupdate.com/japan-gold-coins-celebrating-the-accession-of-emperor-naruhito-announced-by-the-ministry-of-finance/" rel="nofollow">https://news.coinupdate.com/japan-gold-coins-celebrating-the-accession-of-emperor-naruhito-announced-by-the-ministry-of-finance/</a></p><p>Good luck - Ganbatte as the Japanese would say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
