Nah it hasn't been cleaned, probably stored in old material on the reverse though. The obverse is normal brown with some red remaining, but...

Yes the last one was quite fun :) These have some of the typical weak spots, but no wear... I'll just leave my opinion at that lol
Hey their location is Brooklyn, NY. Must be one of my crackhead neighbors.
Anyone else enjoy taking a gamble on bad pictures when bidding on or buying coins? I do it all the time, and it works out well more often than...
That particular coin is one they often offer, I'm sorry you purchased one. I've seen at least 15 examples of the same date/denomination from their...

How about this one? *wink wink*...
The 1 yen coins you mentioned were one of the first that they successfully made very good copies of. I started seeing an influx of them at least 5...
