[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2753002, member: 4373"]Been quiet for a while and I've sorted some coins in my collection. Manchukuo coins have been somewhat underrated and prices have been steadily on the rise. Thankfully I've completed the set a while back but it still doesn't stop me from looking out for something interesting or different. Krause mentions that there is a variety for the 5 fen coin. I was skeptical until I went through a fair number of them to find it. This is a normal 5 fen coin of the same year (1936 5 fen) [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1000116.jpg[/img] The next one is described as a wide rim - which should look quite obvious [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1031869.jpg[/img] Now I would like to present a normal 1933 5 fen. (This is somewhat very underrated) [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1028172.jpg[/img] And this is one that I found recently. [img]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1041989.jpg[/img] If you look at the reverse, it seems that the rims are a lot narrower to any of the examples shown earlier. I personally think this is a new variety however have not seen any other examples yet. What do you think?[/QUOTE]
