<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2704097, member: 71642&quot;]Two more Baltimore buys--not anything too excellent exactly.&nbsp; The first is a one yen from the first year/Meiji 3/1870.&nbsp; It&#039;s a somewhat scarcer &#039;type 2&#039; (has to do with the style of one of the characters).&nbsp; It WAS in a PCGS details slab for cleaning.&nbsp; Very flashy surfaces and the cleaning was not terribly obvious in hand.&nbsp; The photos very much accentuate the hairlines.&nbsp; The coin is now cracked and has taken up residence in my Japan Type Dansco.&nbsp; Overpaid a bit, but it really was the perfect album coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/0Wh0nGi4Q16DJrLSyzEb_type%202%20combo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A much more modest 5 yen, Showa 24 (1949).&nbsp; These are nominally low value coins, but nicer grades hard to come by.&nbsp; This is raw, and has much more toning than I was able to capture.&nbsp; Just a pretty little coin that was too nice to leave behind.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/T8qWVBH8SsOQtaGFSpoI_combo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
