Is there a website some where or a book I could get? Also, does anyone know how many different varieties there are? Report this Post to the Staff

packrat1 Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 3:47 pm I did check to make sure they had the stamps to be sure they are real. Good question though. Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 11:23 pm David Hartill's book "Early Japanese Coinage" is excellent. Highly recommended. You will learn more from that book than any websites. Report this Post to the Staff
packrat1 Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 09/29/2014 5:10 pm Thanks for the referral. I went to Amazon & they had the book for $16.16 & I liked what I read so I bought it. It should be here in a couple days & I can't wait to get it now. Report this Post to the Staff
packrat1 Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 10:21 pm jcmworld. I forgot to tell you that the book "Early Japanese Coinage" arrived & it is indeed excellent. I like it better than the reproduction copy of "Coins of Japan" by Neil Gordon Munro. Thanks again for recommending the book. Report this Post to the Staff

packrat1 Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 9:39 pm The book did give several different examples for telling different Tempo Tsuho apart. It's a little difficult to tell on the coins themselves mostly but the book has been useful. I've also found it very useful with my 1 & 4 Mon coins I have. Even helped with my Bu & Shu coins. I also picked up a copy of "Japanese Coinage A Monetary History of Japan" by Norman Jacobs, Ph.D. & Cornelius C. Vermeulue, III, Ph. D. It's a good book too. I still like "Early Japanese Coins" the best though. Report this Post to the Staff
