I HAVE A JAPANESE COIN COLLECTION MY DAD PICKED UP IN JAPAN IN THE MID 50'S. ITS IN A HARD BOUND CASE , 35 COINS , AND THEY DATE FROM 1764 TO 1946. THIS WAS PUT OUT BY ITOSO & CO.LTD.JUST CURIOUS IS THIS MIGHT BE WORTH SOMETHING....THNX SAM
Hi Sam, Value depends on Denomination, Date, mintmark (if any) as well as amount of wear and amount of collector demand. If you list them I may be able to give you estimates of value.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for lots more info, pics and values.
