Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/07/2018 3:49 pm It's a 100 Mon "Tempo Tsuho" from Japan, c. 1830s-1869. These are common coins worth about $15. Genuine coins will have two validation stamps on the edge of the long sides at 3:00 and 9:00. I don't see any metal distortion, but are the punches there? Report this Post to the Staff
