It's only my 5th Japanese coin so far, but there will be more.

Nice coin. I can read the words on that coin even though I am not a Japanese.

Very nice. This is an easy series to complete as well. I think there are only four coins.

Taisho 8 would be 1919.

Well, there are only four coins, but Y#41 is not an easy series. You don't often see them in XF and above, and Uncs are few and far between, even from Taisho 8, which had the highest mintage of the series. There is a sharp jump in value between XF and Unc.

I've passed on several Taisho 6 F and below examples, trying to hold out for an XF/Au, and I'm just about ready to complete the series with a VF if I can find a nice looking one.

I was able to complete the series quite quickly, actually too quickly. It was all over so fast! I am not much of a grader (being a darksider) but all mine are sharp in detail and problem free and a deep rich brown.
