<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2766842, member: 10461&quot;]I just bought this from a member here, so there is once again <i>one</i> Far Eastern coin in my collection. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and a &quot;non-round&quot; piece as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fimages.pcgs.com%252FTrueView%252F82196868_max.jpg%26hash%3D0316603e3a1b4f4d78d789e948f13e2f&amp;hash=a7aefc6bb5bf9479a1fad9732bdeb026" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These little rectangular Japanese gold pieces are fun. The common Meiji types like this are not <i>frightfully</i> expensive, either, for gold coins. (These actually have more silver than gold content.)</p><p><br /></p><p>They do look a little silly in a slab.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/j1-jpg.637115/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/j2-jpg.637116/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>At $150, the price on this was fair, I think.&nbsp; Neither a cherrypick bargain nor an overpriced ripoff.&nbsp; Just about right.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/japan-meiji-era-gold-nibu-kin-2-bu-ca-1868-1869.287293/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/japan-meiji-era-gold-nibu-kin-2-bu-ca-1868-1869.287293/">I had one in my Box of 20 before</a>.&nbsp; That one I paid $80 for, sight unseen, from a bulk offer. I sent it to PCGS and it got XF45.&nbsp; This new one, being ten points better (AU55) <i>and</i> attractively toned made it worth the extra money to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just fun.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
