gxseries Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Finally found this last coin that I took a while to find - 1933 5 fen. Unusually difficult to find for some reason - Manchukuo coins in general seem to be getting wiped out from the market fast and furious. This is the last coin that I needed - probably paid silly money for it but I just wanted to fill this hole. The rest of my Manchukuo collection can be found here in album format: http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg1_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg2_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg3_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg4_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg5_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg6_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg7_small.jpg http://gxseries.com/dump/manchukuo_pg8_small.jpg The rest of the holes seem to be amazingly difficult to be filled especially the smallest denomination 5 li. If you have any spares that can fill the holes and are willing to let go of them, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Congrats! How long did this take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 At least 2 years ccg - does show you that it's completely underrated and a lot tougher than what many expected. Krause and JNDA values are not even close to what I had to pay for. This set includes coins that I have upgraded over the years so imagine what it is like. Stil missing a couple of 5 fen aluminum coins and I haven't seen any examples of such for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Very nice set and project. I've only completed a few sets in my collecting history and it's a great feeling, and the sets I did were actually quite easy compared to your challenge. Have fun with it and keep enjoying.

Forgot to ask. Can we expect to see a few of these in PCI2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art - I'm quite certain that "sets" is not a criteria for PCI2013. Nevertheless, would be posting some appealing coins this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
