Meiji 5 Sen Year 3 (1870) MS67 PCGS, KM-Y1, JNDA 01-33. "Shallow scales" variety. A breathtaking gem, with blissfully argent central fields that yield to a more transfixing mélange as one approaches the peripheries. Deep cobalt, crimson, and burnt sienna fully captivate the viewer, while a robust luster simply provides an additional superlative. With PCGS having graded just one finer, it is easy to see that this is likely one of the most gorgeous of the date and type extant.
