<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 24801705, member: 56370&quot;]Thanks everyone for the replies.&nbsp; So now I am a bit bummed out.&nbsp; I saw two of these GSA dollars at the shop for 28,000 yen each, which at the current exchange rate is less than $200.&nbsp; When seeing the insanely low price I bought one, but then started worrying about potential counterfeits considering it seemed to good to be true.&nbsp; So with less than an hour before I had to be at Tokyo Station to catch the airport train, I played it safe and took it back to the shop to exchange it.&nbsp; I went home with this 1000 yen Shinkansen bullet train commemorative which has a design I really like and is evidently in high demand given its 35,000 yen price tag.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it common to see a US coin selling overseas for such a steep discount?&nbsp; I understand that the demand there is lower and it would be harder to move, but a GSA dollar would be easy to sell on eBay for a lot more even from Japan.&nbsp; Although I don’t think a reputable shop like Ginza would knowingly sell a counterfeit, US coins are not their area of expertise and even if I kept the coin I might have still had lingering doubts.&nbsp; Now I have a coin that is a great memory of Japan and is the most valuable and unique modern coin in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1587068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587070[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
