<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2947368, member: 4373&quot;][USER=15019]@Numismat[/USER] - will try to find better photos. I don&#039;t have the coin on hand so I will have to find photos of what I took a decade ago. From memory, I believe the coin was slightly underweight. I compared it against a Japanese 1 yen as they were struck in similar specification and the edge checked out ok. </p><p><br /></p><p>iPen - I&#039;m concerned about the carbon spots. They seem to be a common issue with the modern counterfeits. I have a 20 chon coin that I bought a while back and sadly it was one after very close examination with other coins that I have in my collection. That coin too has very similar carbon spot issue. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1019086.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My best advice is to start small. I started with the 5 fun copper coins as it is more affordable. Of course, counterfeits sadly exist in all denominations, even with copper...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
