Here's a New Zealand piece for good measure.

 

Key date and it cost me big money.

 

Yang? Definitely need a little verdicare!

I'll play . . .

 

That's a gorgeous coin.

 

A few shiny coppers from Japan:

1/2 Sen (半銭) - dated 明治十八年 or 1885 - PCGS MS64RD
A Sen was worth 1/100 of a Yen, so, as the top reverse text says, it took 200 of these to equal a Yen


1 Rin (一厘) - dated 明治七年 or 1874 - NGC MS64 RB
The very tiny Rin (15.75mm) was worth 1/1000 of a Yen


A slightly shiny US 2 Cent - NGC MS63 BN


And a shiny US One Cent - NGC MS66 RD

 

Recent eBay purchase.
1970 10-Won South Korea (88% Cu, 12% Zn variety).
I'm guessing that NGC would grade it MS-64?
I was very pleased with this one, as it looks blazingly beautiful in-hand compared to these photos.

What do you all think? 64?

Thanks, It made me take a quick, short inhaled breath the first time i saw it.
Not many coins do that to me, thank goodness.
