Japanese coin collectors? Anyone here collect Pre-Meiji Japanese coins? I just picked up some oval-shaped 100-mon coins. They're cheap and neat looking. I'd like to get some of the gold and silver square ingots someday (the 1 and 2 shu/bu). Also like the gold koban coins, but too much for me. MT Silver

Re: Japanese coin collectors? Heard of them, but have never seen them. Thanks for the pics Infidel. Since I cannot read Japanese, I would not be guaranteed of getting silver. It may be another metal. Those pics do not look like silver. If I could prove to my satisfaction there were silver, I would have a hard time selling them to someone else in my area. These are coins I would not collect. Cool coins nonetheless. The Great Ag

Re: Japanese coin collectors? Thanks for the pics Infidel! :beer: :D (I thought this thread was dead) I think those pics are of Ryukyu (Okinawa) 100 mon coins. Here are some neat links: http://www.lioncoins.com/Nipprov.htm http://www.lioncoins.com/nippon1.htm The Great Ag, the 100 mon coins are either copper or brass. I'm a bullion man, but I have somewhat of a numismatic side when it comes to mercury dimes and Japanese coins. MT Silver
