Okay, here is a deal for
someone. I bought a lot of tsuba that had a large Chinese coin
included in it. I was able to find information on tit, and was
pleasantly surprised. The actual color is less shiny and
darker. One like it, with a different mint mark, sold
for $90. Not too shabby. So, in keeping with my
good deal policy, mine can be had for $50, and I still pay S & H.
