I love how big the Japanese " Two Cent Piece" is! And that dragon! How would you grade it?

Wow - super 2 Sen, Adam - it's gorgeous! I'm with gxseries at MS 65 RB.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I love the overall look on this coin, between the strong strike and the excellent patina.

One of you graded this at MS(64), while three gave it MS(65), with those of you extending the "RB" designation.

More often that not graders on here can be a little more harsh than PCGS--the fact that PCGS was a bit harsher this time only speaks to the high quality of this coin.

A beauty, I think the marks in the reverse field held it back from a 65.
