rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 1:22 pm I have managed to identify the coin, but I am not certain of my interpretation of the date. I originally came up with year 94, but knew right away that could not be correct. So I am assuming it is supposed to be year 49, which would make it 1974. Or I could be completely wrong. I wrote out the 2x2 but used a pencil for date. Could someone please help me to figure this part out. ~~And if anyone wants to throw out a grade on this coin, thanks for that too. (but date is major issue I have)~~ forget about grade, pics are too grainy. Edited by rikcando 11/18/2009 1:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 1:40 pm Thank you very much DL20K. I've only a couple of Japanese coins, but the year is in western numerals (e.g. Y82). This is the first one I've had to attempt the Kanji. Once again, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
