<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1904341, member: 17919&quot;]There are plenty of shops in say, the Okachimachi district of Tokyo that sell gold jewelry. And I have seen a number of women wearing gold necklaces *with bullion coin pendants*, particularly Maple Leafs (they don&#039;t like US bullion coins in pendants because of the coin alignment, because one side of the coin is always upside down).</p><p><br /></p><p>And married women, at least, don&#039;t seem to care too much for jewelry gifts from their husbands, platinum or gold, since that represents money that could have gone into junior&#039;s cram school fund.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as bullion goes, gold bullion is more popular than platinum, and Japanese bullion dealers will sometimes pay more for gold bullion coins (like Philharmonics and Kangaroos) than a US dealer. For example, I can sell an Austrian 1 ounce Philharmonic in Tokyo for close to $1400 today <a href="http://www.mmc.co.jp/gold/market/price/daily_price.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mmc.co.jp/gold/market/price/daily_price.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mmc.co.jp/gold/market/price/daily_price.html</a> , but most American dealers won&#039;t even offer spot for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
