<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 24558331, member: 71642&quot;]Off the top of my head, not much.&nbsp; If they are gemmy the older ones, like 1960s-early 1970s.&nbsp; The 1987/year S.62 50 yen had an astonishingly small mintage and is listed for more (under a million minted). The one yen in recent years has had smaller mintages as well, both for Heisei and Reiwa and have catalog values higher.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking to collect I highly recommend either getting a JNDA catalog or the newer (and in English!) Standard Catalog of Japanese Coins.&nbsp; The latter has sooo much stuff I laboriously had translated or parsed out...and there it is in English.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Clark Smith sells the latter both on his website (cheaper) and sometimes on eBay (don&#039;t see it currently listed though).&nbsp;&nbsp; Scroll down and you can see it.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping for an updated edition soonish (there were a few typos and I&#039;d love for him to add the porcelain/clay coins).&nbsp; Very nice book though.&nbsp; He is likely in Japan this week though for the big Tokyo show, so don&#039;t expect a quick response at the moment.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.coinvault.com/japan.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinvault.com/japan.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinvault.com/japan.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the current JNDA. The shipping on this listing is appalling.&nbsp; And though there is a special section each year that varies, for the most part it is unchanging.&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin values can be optimistic because what we call MS is maybe not so in there.&nbsp; But it can ballpark and show you which years are good.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/404148956890?hash=item5e1927aeda:g:PJ8AAOSwOiFj4hAW&amp;amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4OkFB09rHKarG7I09zPnWRfdKpuezVzqGc0l8KyObuNEW9q6og98I4M0Is5mvt%2FhLhllNVEuH3PcHK%2BfBS%2FM%2F3nrJUZW3ytkF5IVEGDGUuK%2BdVJbmfpu8h6oKuIMtS6Mvuo%2BpP8huAxw44xUhlf2IXE1HrrvvMW0RqYF7Qy26S2e%2FDY7T8%2BZxFW8Q5kBOJFDjWdnMamN1dx5Zys9WHfc4u0S9CPIqT82U1946qjppTu1rYLQBAJTbl3bbtX2n3rkSZfKujMFPnRb4E2INmo%2Fuul6gk0XmnAEkM4l8b7XdMMU%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR96vyob4YQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/404148956890?hash=item5e1927aeda:g:PJ8AAOSwOiFj4hAW&amp;amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4OkFB09rHKarG7I09zPnWRfdKpuezVzqGc0l8KyObuNEW9q6og98I4M0Is5mvt%2FhLhllNVEuH3PcHK%2BfBS%2FM%2F3nrJUZW3ytkF5IVEGDGUuK%2BdVJbmfpu8h6oKuIMtS6Mvuo%2BpP8huAxw44xUhlf2IXE1HrrvvMW0RqYF7Qy26S2e%2FDY7T8%2BZxFW8Q5kBOJFDjWdnMamN1dx5Zys9WHfc4u0S9CPIqT82U1946qjppTu1rYLQBAJTbl3bbtX2n3rkSZfKujMFPnRb4E2INmo%2Fuul6gk0XmnAEkM4l8b7XdMMU%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR96vyob4YQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/404148956890?hash=item5e1927aeda:g:PJ8AAOSwOiFj4hAW&amp;amdata=enc:AQAIAAAA4OkFB09rHKarG7I09zPnWRfdKpuezVzqGc0l8KyObuNEW9q6og98I4M0Is5mvt/hLhllNVEuH3PcHK+fBS/M/3nrJUZW3ytkF5IVEGDGUuK+dVJbmfpu8h6oKuIMtS6Mvuo+pP8huAxw44xUhlf2IXE1HrrvvMW0RqYF7Qy26S2e/DY7T8+ZxFW8Q5kBOJFDjWdnMamN1dx5Zys9WHfc4u0S9CPIqT82U1946qjppTu1rYLQBAJTbl3bbtX2n3rkSZfKujMFPnRb4E2INmo/uul6gk0XmnAEkM4l8b7XdMMU|tkp:Bk9SR96vyob4YQ</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My website hasn&#039;t been updated with the current era/Emperor, and hope to do so at some point.&nbsp; I changed web hosts and need to redo the site as it was built with a proprietary one with the company I ditched.&nbsp; But the basics are there.&nbsp; This is the page for dating coins at least (and you can use your imagination for Reiwa).&nbsp; <a href="https://www.starcityhomer.com/reading-japanese-coins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.starcityhomer.com/reading-japanese-coins.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.starcityhomer.com/reading-japanese-coins.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
