Here is yet another member of my set of 8 denominations featuring this awesome dragon design from the Meiji era in Japan. This one is the only one I bought in person in Japan.

How would you grade this?

Nice example of the first year ( yr. 3 ) 1 yen. I'm gonna guess MS-62 or MS-63.

Only 2 guesses this time, and they are pretty close! Again, I like when PCGS is harsher than the commentary here, as it suggests that coin is nice for its grade :).
