Japan
Meiji Trade Dollar Year 9 (1876) MS61 NGC, Osaka mint, KM-Y14, JNDA 01-12, JC-09-12-1. A mildly Prooflike and highly attractive selection, fielding an exceptionally attractive sunset tone over the obverse that melds into cobalt and merlot color around the reverse margins. Most often located with chopmarks incurred in the course of trade with China, and therefore seldom encountered in fully Mint State preservation. Very nearly possessing the details of a finer coin, it seems all that precludes a higher grade is a light scattering of wisps in the fields.
