<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 7540907, member: 102103"]Every time I see one of these, I forget I have one, so over the years I seem to have managed to acquire a complete set of these. It's only 3 years, so it's not much of an achievement. The <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14006.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14006.html" rel="nofollow">Showa 15</a> (1940) seems to be the least common of the three.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1301621[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301622[/ATTACH] </p><p>I have kind of a 10 sen coin addiction. Every time I see one in a junk bin I can't help picking one up. I probably have ~200 by now for a grand total of a little over $20.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1301623[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It would be nice to complete a base metal 10 yen date set from Taisho 9 (1920) to Showa 21 (1946).
