plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 1:23 pm Hi, I got this recently from ebay and need some help determining the year of this coin and possible value in this grade. It weights 26.84g. Report this Post to the Staff

ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 2:08 pm That's better, hard enough to read when the English is upside down 1901-1912 is the age I'm seeing but it might even be older, good old Krause cuts off at 1900 Edit: and I still can't read the date with it right side up Edited by ASLAN TVorlon 01/26/2014 2:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 3:22 pm 38.6mm is 1874-1887 38.1mm is 1886-1912 26.9468g according to Krause on the reduced size, with a 90% composition, thus the '900' the 416 is Grains, 480 grains is 1 troy ounce or 31.1g. I'm wondering about this one too, can anyone read the date? I can see numbers but I'm not sure how to translate them. I'm not really into massive imperialism but I am glad that most coins these days have 'readable' A.D. dates Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12286 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 3:28 pm The coin is Year 28 of the Meiji Empire which equals an AD date of 1895. Side note: The orientation of the coin as originally presented makes it easier to read the Kanji characters representing the date. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
