<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2436927, member: 16729&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about the numismatic community in Japan, but I remember reading a news story about some tourist from Japan dropping $20K on a Seattle shoe store for some USED 1970s Nike shoes that they had displayed in their store window just for decoration.&nbsp; The store was going to throw them away.</p><p><br /></p><p>If something is novel, or has a certain vintage &quot;cache&quot; to it, it seems that you can bet that there&#039;s someone in Japan who&#039;s willing to pay top-dollar for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s the relative scarcity of these errors, as gxseries mentions.&nbsp;&nbsp; Add to this the &quot;novelty-rarity&quot; aesthetic among some Japanese, and you can get $27K bids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
