I just was looking for japanese coins on eBay to buy and I typed in japanese gold coin and this came up. It's in china, and so painfully obviously so is the seller chinese! Terrible terrible english. Looks like the kind of english you find in one of those online translators. It's hard to tell but the coin looks kind of grainy....does it look suspicious to you?

Hard to tell from the picture.

 

It's a Japanese 10 Yen (Y# 33).

 

The "real" coin is .9000 gold (0.2411 oz AGW) and should weigh 8.3333 grams according to Krause Standard Catalog Of World Coins.

Mintage for 1909 was 2,165,000.

Don't even think about it! Even if you weren't suspicious already, then your should be. You should never buy an item from China because of the high fraud rate there (with a few exceptions, of course).
