<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2386150, member: 4373&quot;]A 1896 yen is not worth 100 dollars with chopmarks. Unless the year is wrong which I suspect is the case, I highly doubt that it is worth that much. Even in XF condition, this is not a coin that people are willing to pay that much. Recent sales on ebay do not seem to suggest any 1896 yen sold for 400 dollars - none even sold for half of the suggest price. If you said 1874 or the trade dollars, I may have believed it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The exception is if it had the Tokyo or Osaka countermark and depending on which one it is, they may be worth higher - that is without the chopmarks and without major circulation contact marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can argue all day and night and if someone wants to pay that much, please feel free to sell to them. I will join the sales marketing team and make a handsome profit too. I know I will not pay high prices unless it&#039;s a rare year / variety or it is going for a bargain price. </p><p><br /></p><p>A picture will be very handy for starters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
