Frank Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 04/01/2006 10:31 pm One last try because I can't be that much of a dummy to get a couple of images loaded. I think I finally got it right. So now can anyone read the date of this coin? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Frank Report this Post to the Staff

toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 04/01/2006 11:30 pm Here is a site that converts western years to Japanese. I used photoshop to see the coin better and still had trouble working it out. My suspicion was also 1882, by the process of elimination but it still was not a good match. There is a member on the forum who knows the correct way to read these coins. http://www.allcalendars.net/Japanes...onverter.php Report this Post to the Staff
