That makes perfect sense, because one never knows. By the way, I actually own examples of all of the Japanese pieces you posted, so I don't consider them valueless at all. I also enjoy helping people identify unknown coins when I can, so thank you for posting the pictures and if you want to post your entire list I'm sure that no one would object. I can probably only really help out with Japanese coins, though. Luckily, many other people here know a lot more than I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
