shurkahn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 1:54 pm I found these coins along with a about 500 or more mon coins that were my late Father in laws. He was a big collector of Japanese antiques and had a few featured Auctions at Igavel and Sotheby's. These were found after. I could not get them on this computer so I am putting link to photobucket http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/...ese%20coins/ Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 4:44 pm shurkahn- Yes, those certainly were not official coins from the Tokugawa period, but a few of those may possibly be much older (I really am not versed in Japanese coins before this period). Some really do look like fantasy pieces, but are probably quite old. Either way, those are really beautiful and fascinating. I must admit that I would be curious to see some of the mon coins. Would it be possible for you to post a few pics of those? Edited by Archraz 01/18/2010 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
shurkahn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 5:58 pm Yes when I get back to the main computer I will upload some of the mon coins. I do have one on ebay right now a 100 mon with Honza mint mark. That coin was already researched and labeled. That is why I know what mint mark Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 01/24/2010 2:09 pm shurkahn- Those are some very nice bronze mon! I must admit that I am not familiar with the varieties, which mainly consist of differing numbers of waves on the reverse. I also have never seen larger 100 mon coins of this type. These may be fantasy pieces, or maybe they are something quite esoteric that I have yet to be exposed to. Either way, I look forward to seeing what others say in response to these.
