<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2780857, member: 71642&quot;]Got a package in the mail from Europe over the weekend...must admit I get a laugh when my Japanese coins come from somewhere like Switzerland!&nbsp; Depending on fees, shipping, and exchange rates sometimes it makes sense to look overseas and sometimes it doesn&#039;t. I was able to pick up 3 coins for a decent price after taking all the costs into consideration including some combined shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>This Meiji 8/1875 sen is a wee bit of an upgrade for me and (as often happens) I like the look far better in hand than the seller/auction shots.&nbsp; I&#039;ve learned to do a bit of internet interpretation for the slabbed coins, and for the lower cost ones like this it&#039;s not like someone is going in and spending time manipulating the views!&nbsp; At least for a couple sites at least an educated guess about the coin is possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>My shots don&#039;t quite pick up the full &#039;look&#039; of the coin, but are still better than what I had to go by.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/Zcmx1L0qTwCGPQMJUMXP_combo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
