<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 4136160, member: 4626&quot;]Meiji 3 (1870) 20 sen coin from Japan I bought.&nbsp; Nothing about it looks obviously fake to me, though it has oddly uneven wear on the rim that I&#039;m not sure whether it&#039;s a result of the way it was struck or how it was handled.&nbsp; Any thoughts?&nbsp; I didn&#039;t pay a lot for it anyway so if it turns out not to be genuine I&#039;m not out much, but would just like to know if anyone thinks there&#039;s any obvious problems here (other than it was probably cleaned at some point in its life; that&#039;s almost unavoidable with older Japanese coins as until relatively recently many collectors thought nothing about cleaning these.&nbsp; At least it doesn&#039;t seem overly harshly cleaned.)&nbsp; The dots that frame the devices on both sides seem slightly uneven too, but maybe that&#039;s just due to wear or minor damage.&nbsp; But that&#039;s the only other thing that strikes me as a bit unusual.&nbsp; Would appreciate thoughts from people with more expertise in this area though.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1070249[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1070251[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
