While I collect US coins primarily, I love these Meiji dragon coins, and am trying to assemble a nice set of the 8 denominations which are not gold.

What do you think of this one?

Old thumb print on the reverse? Wild guess: MS64?

A really attractive superior example.
Finger print does not help, along with some inconsistent toning on the obverse.
Nevertheless, I agree with
MS-64.

I'm thinking MS-64.

All four of you graded this coin as MS(64). And PCGS agrees! They see your MS(64) and raise you an "RB" designation.

Yeah, the finger print isn't ideal, but I think this coin has some fascinating and beautiful colors, a very good strike, and was available at a good price, so I am happy with it.

Great looking coin even with the Samurai finger print.
