14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 07:15 am I have a very heavily chopped Japanese Yen that I am fairly certain is a Year 7 (1874) but would like an opinion from a collector of Japanese coins. There is no way to see the spiral on the pearl or if there ever was a Gin mark. It is so heavily chopped it is deformed into a little bowl. Maybe a sake cup! Are there any Chopmark collectors out there? Report this Post to the Staff

14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 09:19 am I can not vouch for mint or post mint damage. I am getting old but not that old! I can only vouch for the fact that none of it is post purchase damage. I have had it perhaps 20 years or so and have not added a single chop of my own. Report this Post to the Staff
