I&#039;m really a beginner when it comes to Japanese coins &amp; this is my 1st Japanese coin purchase. Problem is that the seller says he bought it&nbsp; in China (red flag #1) from someone who doens&#039;t know a thing about coins, &amp; the seller himself says he cannot &amp; doesn&#039;t guarantee it, appreantly he didn&#039;t even know it was 1874 as you wrote, he thought it was 1876. He&#039;s asking $85 only for it (apparently way below value if genuine, red flag #2). Now, the seller is in the US, sells some certified coins &amp; from you you wrote, this is worth good money, so why not try to certify it? (red flag #3, at least) I guess it&#039;s possible he knows it&#039;s fake or maybe it was returned from a grading service as forgery?? Anyhow, it just looked unlike any forged coin I&#039;ve seen so far &amp; has quite a real feeling to it. Despite att the above, do you suppose it&#039;s worth the risk of $85 or does everything I mentioned yell &quot;FAKE&quot; even louder?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
