nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15419 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 4:56 pm I have no expertise on the base coin - but those four added rings were not part of any mint process by any mint that I know of. I'm going to suggest the base coin grades in the XF range - details for the added loops. For all I know this could be a rare Japanese coin - we'll need to reply upon the CCF experts for that input - but in it's current state it is a damaged coin. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Countermarked Gin (silver) after the 1897 silver crash; these coins were briefly demonetized and sold for scrap to China etc. Value over melt is going to be minimal with the loops soldered on.

If you want to sell it on ebay, don't use auction, use Buy Now or Offer. Your coin is very nice, my estimation is around $100. Report this Post to the Staff
