Owner Comments:
This Silver Yen has several chopmarks but no GIN counterstamp. I would consider her lightly chopped. This implies that, given her high relative grade, that she might have ended up in the holdings of a bank or wealthy merchant for an extended time after a brief period of circulation. That's the fun thing about chopmarked coins, you can always speculate as to their travels throughout the Orient.
