flanders8008 Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 7:12 pm I have this 20 sen coin but I can't read Japanese so I don't know what date it is. Anybody able to help? It's pretty gunky but other than the gunk the coin is in decent shape. I know that you're never supposed to clean a coin but is there a gentle way to just get gunk off?

That's what I get for being in a hurry and trying to make a post before I go out the door. Edited by allranger 01/26/2014 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
