Despite the high mintage of 2 million, this does not necessarily reflect how often it appears on the market. All the other coins are perhaps 3-10 times easier to find despite similar or lower mintage number. Here are the pictures: 1905 1906 1907 (reduced size) 1908 1909 1910 Hope you enjoy. :) My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 08:09 am Congratulations on your achievement. :) I never get tired of seeing the dragon and the pearl. Have you found these 'minor silver' types to be widely counterfeited? Of course the expensive rare dates may be, but I am thinking of circulated common ones that could be found in junk boxes of yesteryear. Like you I am interested in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean coins. Sadly in many areas it seems wise to just stay away. . . -wheatiefan Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 09:05 am Wheatiefan, the minor silver coins are generally ok unless they are rare dates and Chinese coins in general. The Japanese coins should be very affordable, some Chinese Province can be affordable depending on the provinces (Kwangtung being the easiest) but the Korean ones are usually dearer because of the lower mintage. But that doesn't mean that you can't find low grade coins under 20 dollars for Korean coins. Most of the coins on ebay are actually ok if you know what you are looking at. I'm happy to give you tips where need to be. My advice is to back off from Chinese coins completely unless you are willing to spend time and effort to know the seller. This was a rather unusually difficult set - it's supposed to be easier than trying assemble half won coins, which is about half dollar size coins.
