<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 6541697, member: 57121&quot;]I collect Japanese coins, principally Meiji, Taisho and early Showa.&nbsp; I was an university exchange student in Tokyo in the early 70s.&nbsp; I returned to work for an American bank in the 80s.&nbsp; I have to agree that Ginza Coins is well known but there are others such as Taisei.&nbsp; I find prices and service to be better among the Japanese dealers than American or Canadian.&nbsp; However, it helps to speak Japanese especially if you off the beaten path in Tokyo i.e. Kobe, Yokohama.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be aware that Chinese buyers had been pushing up prices before the COVID epidemic according to several Japanese dealers I met in late 2018, especially at the auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Atlas Numismatics in Brooklyn has some very high quality Japanese coins.&nbsp; One of the dealers also speaks excellent Japanese.&nbsp; </p><p>Kathy aka Stork is an avid Japanese collector on this board.&nbsp; She can also provide useful information.&nbsp; </p><p>DNAS is also excellent[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
