[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2806923, member: 4373"]Nice coins Stork! Japan has very low rates of error coins. I have seen some interesting error coins such as brockage, off center, die rotation. Of course, the price tag is another world. Some may not realize but Japan Mint does have a machine to electronically check if all struck coins are struck to specification. Hence it is extremely rare for error coins to slip past. There is a video somewhere on youtube that shows this. That said, I have been looking for Japanese error coins that didn't cost me an arm or leg. WWII coins are more commonly found with defects which I will leave that aside for now. 1659 - 1685 Nagasaki Boeki-sen (Genho Tsuho) misalignment [IMG]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/917324.jpg[/IMG] 1784-88 Sendai tsuho with cud [IMG]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1015354.jpg[/IMG] 1885 1 sen rotation die error. Nearly missed this one as I was about to sell it as junk [IMG]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/930963.jpg[/IMG] 1946 50 sen die clash - rays under feathers [IMG]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1022688.jpg[/IMG] 1964 5 yen hole misalignment [IMG]https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/970901.jpg[/IMG] I have not been actively looking but there can be bargains to be found if one looks hard enough.[/QUOTE]
