Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 09:16 am As for the value, yes it has some because it is silver. Your best bet is to check ebay and chose the option "sold items" to see how much folks actually paid for 1887 20 sen coins recently. Don't just go off of listing prices. Report this Post to the Staff
