<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 3986608, member: 4373&quot;]Nice set. I&#039;m not familiar with cast coins so I&#039;m not much of a help. These were cast in the 1800s and had pretty sad history behind it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good quality copper coins were melted down and recast with cheaper alloy coins. This is course caused the public to be angry and not trust the local currency as mint officers made massive profit out of this. This this is why such coins are very common as well as the varieties out there. That said there may be some scarcer variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1908 10 chon is a coin struck in Japan at Osaka mint. High mintage number as shown in the NGC site. Common, probably worth 30 dollars give and take[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
