Anyway, help with ID would be much appreciated. What I really find interesting about this one is that the dragon and the peacock are apparently sharing a drink?

Secret Argent Man Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 3:13 pm Score! A quick google shows this is going for more than what I paid for the whole lot I got this in. Not that that really matters, as I think I like it too much to sell, but all the same. thanks for the assistance, this was going to drive me nuts otherwise. I'm going to have to get me a krause book.

But Manchuria was under Japanese occupation at that time... Report this Post to the Staff

I typically see them going for anything from $60 to $100 in this condition regardless of whether it's a 10 or 20 cent coin. Report this Post to the Staff
