	Japanese Gold Koban « on: April 01, 2010, 05:44:30 am »

I found this gold koban with a metal detector in Japan. This is not my first one. I have others. Lots of great places to search and no competition here.

Congratulations on a great find, Prinzjay! The Koban is one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in Japan and you're holding several thousand $ in your hand. Photos are a little fuzzy, but it looks like a Gembun Koban. Wonderful!

Really nice find! Where in Japan, I was stationed in Okinawa for three years, their were places they wouldnt let us swim still because their is still a lot of unexsploded ordinance!
Congrats on your find, hope to see more great finds! Laola

Could you please inform us on where in Japan did you go and find the Kobans? I am planning on going to Japan sometime this spring.
