[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 222869, member: 669"]Unfortunately, I only have the "normal" 4 version, which is really a little off from the standard character itself, but the JNDA catalog does show the difference well enough for me to describe it. The representation of the more valuable one is very tiny, and I can't upload a picture. :( In a completely normal "yon" character, the upper corners of the box have arcs going from the top to slightly above the middle of each side. On the common "yon" of Meiji 14 (1881) 1 sen coins, the right side arc extends almost to the bottom of the box, and angles down. On the rare version there is a little bit of a hook on that arc, which is going up at the end. I hope that helps. (My scanner is on the blink, but if I remember, I'll scan drawings of both versions of the character and post them when I get it working again. :)[/QUOTE]
