nancy1 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/29/2007 12:28 am being new to all of this, I happend by chance to purchase this 100 yen coin in a protective frame of sorts. looks to have never been handled and I am unsure as to what it actually is and what price when I resell it would be a fair market price. Hopefully some of my first purchases was not a "gotch ya". than you for what ever help you can assist me with. I am having problems downloading a picture, you can email for one. the front looks like a world globe with lines, five balls or something like that in center . on bottom is a 45 by 3 bars I believe, the back has a mountain with maybe snow cap by the sea. this coin is in mint condition. what is it..

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 12/29/2007 12:40 am I believe this is the coin you are asking after? It is a commemorative coin of Japan, worth 100 Yen, celebrating the World Expo held in Japan, 1970. The characters at the bottom surrounding the number 45 denote that this is the 45th year of the Emperor Showa's reign in Japan. The characters at the top of Mt. Fuji represent "Great Nippon" and the characters on the bottom say 100 Yen. I'm afraid this coin doesn't carry much of a premium. Current asking prices on ebay are ranging from $3.00 to $10.00 in brilliant uncirculated. I'd bet the ten dollar coin doesn't sell at that price. I hope this isn't bad news for you. ~Kitty Report this Post to the Staff

If it comes with the bank packaging, there are some collectors that go after it that are willing to pay prenium for them. Pictures will definately help. Otherwise if it's just some private company that did the packaging, it's just worth like what Ellekitty has mentioned. Welcome to coincommunity by the way.
