I just received this coin album and the coins inside are shocking. All of them except the Trade dollar looks to be genuine and have great eye appeal. (duh genuine Japanese Trade dollar coins in undamaged condition are 4 figure coins). I happened to have a damaged Trade dollar coin which I replaced later so it's no loss for me. The toughest I reckon is the 1870, 1871 coins which I had real difficulties. I have never seen these many high grade coins in one place and it's a crazy feat by itself! Some might wonder why bother buying the whole lot as it removes the thrill. Trust me, I thought it was fun but it turns out to be REALLY frustrating. The added bonus to this is, this Dansco 7460 album is quite old and is clearly out of print. For instance Emperor Hirohito (Showa) passed away back in 1989 is just dated as "1926 - " in the book. There is also no hole for a 500 yen coin which was first struck in 1982. Therefore I am certain that it couldn't have been produced any later than 1982, definitely not in the 90s which makes this album older than I am! Dansco might want to reconsider reproducing this album as there is a demand for this album. Needless to say, I love this album at first sight. Ok enough talk and here is the list of coins: 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.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 10/09/2009 6:32 pm DL20K, as far as I can see, Dansco does not seem to make this album for a long period of time. One of our forum members Jays-dad was looking for this and that was the first thing that popped up in google. As far as I can see, it really seems the album itself is more rare than the coins itself (which is quite funny) and a nice album does seem to fetch good money. Here's one related album: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...160366157848 As far as I can see, the coins by themselves are nowhere close to what people are bidding at the moment. I reckon that if I have enough time and with the proper equipment, I can somewhat duplicate this album. Afterall it's just holes in cupboard, nicely printed labels and plastic sheets. One day I'll have to get back to the drawing board.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 10/10/2009 1:27 pm Here are some of the better coins from the first page: Turns out the scarce 1870 yen looks like a possible contemporary counterfeit? I am slowly photographing the coins when I have the time.

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/10/2009 2:03 pm gxseries- Very nice coins! I must agree though that something does look a wee bit odd about the 1870 Yen. Report this Post to the Staff
Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 10/10/2009 2:34 pm I LOVE that album and I'm so jealous. I have been trying mightily hard for mightily long to get that one and some other foreign ones Dansco used to make. Report this Post to the Staff
