Help IDing a Japanese coin??? 1 1

[justbuywhatyoulike]

Hi Folks...

I've tried a few websites but haven't been able to ID a Japanese coin I would like to submit for grading. Any help would be appreciated.  Images are attached.

Thanks!

It is a Japanese silver 50 sen, not sure of year, probably from the twenties.
Also your second picture is upside down.

Thank you for the information Greenstang.  I have also revised the image.

It's a Year 11 (1936) Japanese 50 Sen. Date is on the obverse (10-11 o'clock in your pic)

Nice looking coin, but I don’t understand something. Without knowing what it was, you already knew you wanted to submit it for grading? Run that thought process by me, if you would. Sounds like a cart before a horse somewhere.

I thought it was a great looking coin, I had a rough idea of the age and I like my coins slabbed. No real mystery.

So we’re talking about a coin worth about 8 bucks retail in MS60, which this one likely isn’t, and you’re going to spend north of $35 getting it graded? Again, I don’t get it. It’s not just you. Don’t take it personally. I NEVER get this. Now as part of an exhibit on pre-war Japanese coinage, maybe. But even then, a capsule would do nicely.

Out of curiosity…why does it matter to you?  I NEVER get why people have to comment on something that was never asked about. All you’ve done is come in to criticize my intent for a coin that I would like to get graded and was hoping to get information on.  I didn’t come in asking for help with grading or to ask for financial advice.  
In response to your commentary, it is not for a Japanese memorial. It does have to do with a deceased relative though.

You realize, I suppose, that for YEARS you couldn’t even get a coin like this graded without going through an authorized dealer gatekeeper. Just saying. There is STILL an unofficial line at about $200 value for getting a coin graded to make sense. Over 44 million of these were minted.

Sometimes people need information they didn’t ask for. That’s my jam. So what’s my interest? Until recently, if I sat down with a box of graded coins, I knew I was looking at special coins. That’s no longer true. I prefer it the way it was before. That’s all. More than half of all graded coins today have had no business being that way.
