Is this a genuine coin? It is slabbed by Gongbocoins.com. I have never heard of them. I am working to fill a Dansco Japan Type Album and this is one of the coins I am missing. Any advice is welcomed.

It looks at minimum like it's been cleaned. Overall graininess and part of the dragon's body over its head seems to be missing. Some of the spikes at 9 o'clock and the dot at 4 o'clock look weird. Personally, I'd stay away from it.

The coin is circulated yet there are no nics or marks. It has been cleaned and the color is a little off. I would avoid this one.

Thanks for the comments. I am also trying to find out about this grading company. Are they legitimate?
