<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2007783, member: 4373&quot;]This has been a rather long journey - with a total of just 50 coins, you would think this is an easy set to achieve. Catalog value might suggest one thing but I&#039;ve learned it the hard way. Some surprisingly undervalued coins included 1933 1 fen, 1943 and 1944 5 fen and 1 fen and so forth.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve literally bought hundred of these coins and upgraded them along the way and sold off the duplicates. Not cheap but there has been some stunners in what I bought. Some strong UNC coins which are no longer affordable including a strong proof like, if not proof 1939 1 jiao. Some nice copper and aluminum coins as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are a couple of key date coins which I unfortunately realized that one is a counterfeit - 1939 5 li and 1943 1 jiao (old type) which is potentially a counterfeit. For now I decided to use them as fillers and keep on hunting for genuine examples. Most 5 li coins are difficult to find in reasonable condition except for 1934 and 1937.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I reckon this album is a lot harder than you may think. A type set is very very easy to do however when attempting an entire set, this may take a while. Nevertheless, enough talk and enjoy the view!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/manchukuo_year_coin_album" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/manchukuo_year_coin_album" rel="nofollow">http://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/manchukuo_year_coin_album</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
