<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sam_raph, post: 2778184, member: 83356&quot;]Pat, my mail man, brought me a nice little gift from australia. I bought it for about $30 shipped, and couldn&#039;t be happier. This is a 2011 cherry blossom mint set, complete with a small silver medal weighing 4.3 grams ($2.31 of silver) that shows cherry blossoms when moved in different directions. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1, 5, and 50 yen are the lowest mintage of the series so far, with NGC citing the mintage of the 5 at 348000 while the japanese mint cites the mintage of each the 1, 5 and 50 at 456000. Either way, it is the lowest.</p><p>link to ngc mintage: <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/japan-5-yen-y-96.2-yr.101998-yr.91997-cuid-1131921-duid-1455508" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/japan-5-yen-y-96.2-yr.101998-yr.91997-cuid-1131921-duid-1455508" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/japan-5-yen-y-96.2-yr.101998-yr.91997-cuid-1131921-duid-1455508</a> </p><p>link to japanese mintage: <a href="http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/coin-eng/eng_number_of_coin_production27.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/coin-eng/eng_number_of_coin_production27.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/coin-eng/eng_number_of_coin_production27.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, the mintage of coins from 2010-2013 of the 1, 5, and 50 have been extremely low, making them all key years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post pics of modern japanese coins, comments on why you think japan has produced so few of these coins, or anything relevant or irrelevant! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]642031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]642032[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
