<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2028781, member: 4373"]Congratulations mlov43! I've got a similar album and it's got some hideous coins that I am dying to upgrade. At the same time, I've got another album and this includes 500 yen - gets very expensive very very quickly. Will get around to them as soon as I get around. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a big congratulations on the red 10 yen reeded coins as well as the older 5 yen coins. I really like the old script on the 5 yen coin. Those are getting absurdly hard to find in UNC condition. If you can find them in your coin dealer junk box in UNC condition and don't really collect them, you can flip them over for a decent profit. Why let it sit there when you could be helping another collector? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also I found the silver 100 yen coins to be difficult especially 1958 and 1964 (non Olympics). I'm sure if I am willing to pay a bit more, all of them can be easily obtained. So far I managed to get by paying slightly over face value or whatever I collected from the trip in Japan.</p><p><br /></p><p>As of what I think about doing a Japanese year set - be warned that it can be a lot more expensive then you think! When you have coins that have face value of 1 dollar and 5 dollars and that they have been in circulation for more than 20 years, they just add up way too quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
