Cast or struck?

The rims seem to be pretty wide compared to the pictures in the JNDA catalog. (Krause pictures of the first silver Japanese yen - Y#5 are unuseable.)

P.S. The Canadian seller has private feedback.

That's one of the worst cast counterfeits I've seen in recent months. There are so many decent struck counterfeits out there that the casters must be out of business (but their wares keep showing up later).

Speaking of "Private", what does it mean when the seller's old feedback is listed and is positive, but the corresponding item number is listed as "Private"??????

It means that they bid in a private auction - one where the names were kept secret to protect the terminally stupid or crooked seller (jmho).

I don't like it. I also don't like private feedback sellers. I don't like tomatoes either, but that's not really important.

Counterfeit tomatoes, or genuine ones?

Cast, for sure.
