Dieter3 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 There was what appeared to be a fairly nice 4th class document from the 1st Sino-Japanese war on Yahoo! Japan a week ago or so. BIN was 52,000 yen - it actually went for more than a week I think without a buyer. I didn't think the price was unreasonable actually, considering the condition and the pre-1900 date. I was sooooo tempted, but I just couldn't do it. Even though the exchange rate has dramatically improved over the past month or so, I had to control myself.
