<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 3251747, member: 4373&quot;]I had a bit of spare time and compiled what I have. Most of them are in crusty condition as I had them from my student time. This was a time when Japanese Meiji era copper coins lower than XF were not worth a lot back then. Nevertheless, I somewhat compiled an interesting set. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I found was the most annoying is the orientation of the coins. I could not figure out what the die orientation is meant to be for these coins. I&#039;ve tried to align them as accurately as I could. </p><p><br /></p><p>Alignment</p><p>- Dot in between &quot;Great Japan&quot; and &quot;Meiji xx Year&quot;</p><p>- Two dots at bottom &quot;2 sen&quot;</p><p>- First character of &quot;Mei&quot;ji</p><p>- In between &quot;Mei&quot; and &quot;Ji&quot;</p><p>- A rough visual alignment of the dragon</p><p><br /></p><p>A common mistake that some sellers make is &quot;Meiji 12&quot; and &quot;Meiji 20&quot; for 1/2 sen. This is somewhat a semi scarce coin. Some years are somewhat difficult and the varieties can be more challenging. 1877 1 sen (large 4) can be a challenge.
