IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
JAPAN: Hoei, 1704-1711, AE 10 mon (9.52g), Shichijo mint, Kyoto, H-5.1, JNDA-134.1, hoei tsuho // ei kyu sei yo, countermarked chin on rim, VF. In the 5th year of Hoei (1708) the Hoeitsuho coin was cast at the Shichijo mint. This type was often called "ozeni" due to its large size. The people found it inconvenient to use, although they were informed that they would be punished for not using it. This was hardly surprising as the government issued the coin with a nominal value of ten mon, but its intrinsic value was only about three mon. This example came from a small group of higher than average quality examples, boldly cast with clear reverse incuse characters.
