    They are 999. Cost was about 285. So probably a little expensive for what they are - 160g of silver. But the demon type guys look freaking very cool in real life.. I am yet to open mine up but when I do I will take a some photos and post.

    I paid around $300+ delivered for my Himeji Castle medallion ;)

    They're pretty awesome once you view them in person, no regrets buying them here :D

    There's some pics by Alor, null and me in the Today we bought... thread linked up in my before.

    one thing I noted was it was over 2000 yen cheaper in the shop than what they list on line... I will be back over there at Christmas and will go to the Osaka shop this time. I will post on here before if anyone is interested in them.

    I just wish they had some more stuff! haha... I got the paper weight with the phoenix and the turtle in silver for 12,000 yen as well.. But it was not as good value as the medallions as it is only about 60g silver.

    Hi all,
    I was travelling on the Tokyo JR Yamanote line today and spotted a coin shop directly opposite Komagome Station. Has anyone checked out this store? Just wondering if it is worth the trip back to take a visit?
    I am going to visit the nearby Japan Mint outlet at Ikebukero in the next couple of days - not sure what to expect... :)
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    I think they have some nice 5ozers at the Japan Mint. Worth checking out
