Fake Meiji 10 Sen? 1 1

[blackfoxDJ]

Hi,

I was offered this coins and am trying to verify if it's a fake.
Japan, 10 Sen, Meiji year 3. Y#2.
2.6g, 18.4 mm. (should be 2.5g, 17.57mm)
He tested for silver, but not for silver content, so don't know yet if it's 0.800.

thank you.

This is way outside my area, but that coin looks really "iffy" to me. Even if it is the shallow scale variety, the lack of detail on certain parts is suspicious, in my mind. I would pass.

Just my opinion, of course.

My apologies to Bob as I quoted him by mistake..

I know nothing at all about coins.  But I like to comment anyway.  There is something "iffy" about every coin to me.  Just my opinion.  I hope this was helpful.
