<p>[QUOTE=&quot;byrd740, post: 612724, member: 13877&quot;]I looked at these mon for a couple weeks and told myself that I just have to have them.&nbsp; So of course I ordered them and just received in the mail today.&nbsp; The first one was minted in Edo between 1668-1700(I believe?).&nbsp; This is the one that I really bought the lot for.&nbsp; The second one is Nagasaki.&nbsp; The next one is Koume Mora.&nbsp; There is a defect in the planchet, you can see it at 1 o&#039;clock on the reverse.&nbsp; And lastly an Ashio minted mon.&nbsp; If anyone can give anymore information about any of them it would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Also while I am on the subject, is there any good book in english about Japanese coinage(mons in particular)?&nbsp; This is something that I would enjoy to start collecting.&nbsp; Another thing before I let you to the pics, what would be good to soak these in to loosen some of the dirt?&nbsp; Would acetone be fine?&nbsp; Well thanks for looking!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
