Meiji Proof 10 Sen Year 3 (1870) PR67 NGC, KM-Y2, JNDA 01-23. Shallow Scales variety. Matching the 5 sen in terms of presentation, this Superb Gem is likewise unrecorded in proof condition, and of the highest rarity. Exceptionally produced, the reflective surfaces gleam throughout, and a touch of golden tone accents portions of the peripheries. No blemishes of any kind are observed over either side, and very delicate frost on the design adds a touch of contrast to the appearance. While it's difficult to say definitively, the dies used to strike this proof appear to match (seemingly identical placement of die cracks appear around the reverse legend) a circulated business strike from the Norman Jacobs collection (Heritage 2011 - Sale 3015, Lot 24316).
