I have a plastic case with a silver 1000 yen coin and a nickel 100 yen commemorating 1964 olympic games in Tokyo, Japan

Could someone tell me the silver composition and value of this set issue in todays prices.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks Theboz11.

Does anyone know the current value of the set?

Thanks.

A Really Nice 1000 Yen in a 67 or 68 NGC or PCGS slab can go for $60-$120. I don't have my book handy to see if there is much of a premium for a plastic case holder, if it's the orignial one. If it's a nice set I'd guess anywhere from $50-$100 on ebay. Do you have pictures or an estimate of condition?

Thanks Stork,

I actually have a dozen sets that my father bought when the family lived over there. I would say they grade 65 on average. I don't have access to a scanner.
