<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 3441002, member: 18320&quot;]A little provenance: My Dad&#039;s older brother served in Japan during the GHQ era (fall 1945 thru very early 1952; MSgt, USAAF, HQ Squadron, 5th Air Force, Nagoya. He brought back lots of goodies, this among them. It as been in family possession ever since, and for that reason alone I&#039;m inclined to believe it is genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>As noted, some of the rim treatment, even on slabbed specimens, shows odd work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m gonna get my very first grading on this...as a precaution, given apparent condition and various other interesting details.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very grateful for the interest you all have shown, and the illumination shed on my ignorance about this coin; particularly helpful were Stork and Seattlite86. </p><p><br /></p><p>When ANACS returns it, I&#039;ll share their verdict right here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all, sincerely!&nbsp; wlw[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
