<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3504758, member: 98035&quot;]All look to be common Japanese issues of the late 40s through early 70s. The 100 yen with rice stalks are .600 silver. I see several old style 50 yen, and the &quot;pigeon&quot; 5 yen are popular. Most older Japanese coins from before the early 60s were different in some way; e.g. the 5 yen used a different font, the 10 yen had reeded edges, several designs were used for the 50 yen, and the 100 yen contained silver. Except for the silver, early iterations of the modern coin designs are worth a negligible premium, like a 1940s nickel that is &quot;worth&quot; 6 cents wholesale. I see maybe $15-20 face value at a quick scan, numismatic value is maybe an extra $10 on top of that. They are worth much more as a keepsake - I wouldn&#039;t sell any, and&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t mix more coins in either![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
