Japan
Meiji Proof 20 Sen Year 3 (1870) PR67 NGC, KM-Y3, JDNA 01-20. Shallow Scales variety. As one might expect from a proof, the design has been rendered with impressively exact detail, while the surrounding fields hold exceptional mirror-like qualities. Although several die polish lines appear in the fields under close inspection, essentially no lines from handling or marks of any kind enter the surfaces. Light tone, similar in quality to the other coins in this set, is observed, with the golden tone on the rims being of a slightly richer hue. As a possibly one-of-a-kind survivor in this presentation quality, we expect fierce interest from the passionate collector of Japan's early milled coinage.
