Japan
Netherlands East Indies. Japanese Occupation aluminum Sen NE 2603 (1943) MS62 NGC, Osaka mint, KM-YA66 (listed under Japan), JNDA 08-3. An elusive issue that commonly displays porous surfaces from corrosion, a feature notably absent from this near-choice example. Steely fields decorated with ample luster appear semi-Prooflike, a characteristic rarely encountered from an emission that was mostly lost or withdrawn from circulation and remelted.
