<p>[QUOTE=&quot;100mon, post: 2025112, member: 5690&quot;]I have visited both Japan Mint locations in Osaka and Tokyo, and their mint shops have a small selection of annual mint sets, proof sets, 47 prefecture commemoratives, and various medals. I purchased some mint sets and a cherry blossom proof set (it was around 15,000 yen from what I remember). If you do not collect moderns, I would really recommend checking out the mint museums. The Tokyo branch mint has a smaller collection of Meiji coinage and pre-Meiji gold and silver, but they have a giant gold bar that you can touch. The Osaka mint museum has a much larger collection with quite a few rare oban and kobans, along with Meiji gold and silver coinage. I did not have too much time my last visit this year to study them closely, but I wish to again next time I am over there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
