JAPAN. 1000 Yen, Year 39 (1964). PCGS MS-66 Prooflike Gold Shield.
KM-Y-80; JNDA 03-1. Quite possibly a proof or specimen presentation striking of this popular commemorative issue that was struck for the 1964 Olympic games hosted in Tokyo. Unlike any other we've seen, the fields display deep and consistently reflectivity, while the designs are sharply formed and show light cameo-producing frost. While admittedly common as a type, this coin is unquestionably RARE in this state, and as such, it should excite the collector that treasures modern issues in highly unusual quality.
Estimate: $500 - $1500
