[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1249496, member: 4373"]fahlim03, it would help if you cropped the photos, as in remove the excess background around the coin. I'll have to contridicate both hontonai and collector1966 as I believe this case is dismissed too quickly. A quick search under "柳生淑郎" book of "近代貨幣分類図鑑" published way back in 1997 actually shows that there are two major varieties for this particular year. 上切り平リボン & 上切り凹リボン - something to do with the ribbons being flat and concave. Argument is this book is published more than 13 years ago and there could be more varieties out there that's not well documented. Another one of my points is if it is indeed a comtempory counterfeit that do match the technical composition of what a genuine coin is, I would be VERY interested to see it in person. So let's first establish if it does indeed fit the technical data of 30.9mm and 13.48g like others have mentioned. Most counterfeiters fail to pass this very basic step.[/QUOTE]
