gxseries Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Been quiet for a while and I've sorted some coins in my collection. Manchukuo coins have been somewhat underrated and prices have been steadily on the rise. Thankfully I've completed the set a while back but it still doesn't stop me from looking out for something interesting or different.Krause mentions that there is a variety for the 5 fen coin. I was skeptical until I went through a fair number of them to find it.This is a normal 5 fen coin of the same year (1936 5 fen)The next one is described as a wide rim - which should look quite obviousNow I would like to present a normal 1933 5 fen. (This is somewhat very underrated)And this is one that I found recently.If you look at the reverse, it seems that the rims are a lot narrower to any of the examples shown earlier. I personally think this is a new variety however have not seen any other examples yet.What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like a much narrower rim. Variety....good question and well worth the investigative effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Do you think it could be due to die wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
