[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 1639327, member: 4703"]Grab the refund! Actually a Meiji 27 (1894) yen should be 38.1mm, not 38.6. The changeover occurred in Meiji 20 (1887), the only year in which a genuine coin could have either diameter. 100% certain that yours is a fake. Tell me about the edge on your Fat Man. The edges of genuine Republic Year 3 (1914) 1 yuan coins may be plain, vertically reeded, have a series of incuse circles, or have "T"s alternating top and bottom orientation. Also, are the fields grainy? I can't tell from the pictures.[/QUOTE]
