<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 108529, member: 4373&quot;]Hello Roy, it&#039;s a Meiji 27 1 yen coin. The Korean 5 yang was part of a brooch if I am not mistaken. That will explain the uneven metal blotch as work was done to try to extract every single bit and there are evidence of reengraved section.</p><p><br /></p><p>To add to the uncertainity of the genuineness of the coin, you are indeed right Roy, that the color is a bit off from both the obverse and reverse. I guess it must have happened when the brooch was removed and left some awful black toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot complain much either - such coins in VF- is usually a 4 digit figure and I cannot blame why. As this is a scarce 1 year type coin and to add to the fact that this is the only silver crown minted during the Korean Penisular era before Korea broke up, this adds up to a crazy figure...</p><p><br /></p><p>And to top up the ridicious figure - would you dare to believe that there were actually some proof Korean 5 yang minted at that time? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
