Did I get the date right on the Trade ,
and how about grading of the two coins.
1888 One Yen VF
1887 Crown XF
So how'd I do???

I only ever got 1 One Yen coin, and it turned out to be a faker
probably same base coin they created all those Trade Dollar from,
I compared it vs. my Trade Dollar and it was exact same size, width, and weight (grossly underweight).
*sigh*
I hate fakers
I don't see any
I'm assuming that the light spot on the dot between "900" and the "nen" ("year") character is a reflection off the mylar, and not a memento of a harsh cleaning. Like almost all Japanese silver of that era, it has probably been dipped a time or two.
Mintage was a little short of 9.5-million, and my 3rd Ed. 19th Century Krause values it at $50 VF, $75 XF. I don't think there was much change in the 4th Ed. On the other hand, the most recent JNDA catalog values (always higher than Krause) are ¥20,000 (~$170) in a grade roughly equal to F/VF, and ¥85,000 (~$730) in a grade roughly equal to XF.
