JAPAN. 20 Sen, Year 3 (1870). Osaka Mint. Mutsuhito (Meiji). NGC MS-67.
KM-Y-3; JNDA-01-20; JC-09-20. Shallow scales variety. Undoubtedly one of the finest extant from this first year of issue, the present minor is tied with just two others for the top spot in the NGC census. Entirely blast white and fully blazing, this specimen presents surfaces that verge upon a liquimetal nature, with cartwheel brilliance radiating throughout.
Estimate: $600 - $900
