Is the every YASHICA 124 G's lens coated.If not how to recognize coated ones without looking the lehs [e.g. serial number,...]

I've never seen an uncoated Yashica lens of any vintage, although they may (and probably do) exist. If you are ever able to see and compare anyone's uncoated lens side by side with a coated version (and preferably compare both single and multicoated versions, too) you will be able to recognize the differences with a quick and totally unscientific visual examination.

The 124G model was the last of the family (manufactured from the middle 1970's to the early '80's) and I suspect (but can't prove) that, in keeping with the contemporary technology, all examples will be multicoated. My personal 'Mat (an EM model) is older than I am but is still going strong and takes great pictures, even with whatever coating technology was used in the mid 1950's.
