Here is an interesting link that I ran across and wondered if this is worthy of mention in the education link section? http://www.imes.boj.or.jp/cm/english_htmls/feature_gra.htm
The Bank of Japan site is really nice. Their presentations of the public are first rate. The writing is good; the illustrations are informative. If you dig a little deeper, you can find the abstracts of academic papers.
Steve, that's a fabulous site. It's very easy to navigate and I love the way the information is presented. There are even nice pictures. So many sites sacrifice good information for pictures or vice versa. Very nice find!
Closer to its JNDA book value of ¥200,000-11,000,000 depending on year and grade (roughly $1,900-107,000) than its Krause of $550-37,500. Lots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've only seen one on EBay that I wasn't very suspicious of, and that was in a Superior, Goldberg or Heritage Live Auction (I don't recall which).
