joe_77 Valued Member Italy 284 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 03:10 am Hello Following is a PCGS-based photograde for the Japanese "Sakura" 100 Yen coin. Afer my initial draft posted at http://goccf.com/t/462579, I was able to put together a more comprehensive list thanks to the help of PCGS customer service (kudos to them!). I'll be sharing here future updates On the obverse of this coin, cherry blossoms (sakura) are depicted. Reverse features the value, year and era. First issue was minted in 1967 (Showa 42) and continues to this date. Prior of that year this denomination was minted in silver with different designs. From that year on, the sakura design has been the same apart from the different era/year on the reverse. Below only takes into consideration standard issues (no commems, which were issues in several occasions). No specimens have ever been graded lower than AU50 by PCGS, following are grades greater or equal as of April 2024. AU50 -- only one graded No photo AU53 -- none graded No photo AU55 -- only one graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26325431 AU58 -- only one graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24121524 MS60 -- none graded No photo MS61 -- only two graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/20141676 MS62 -- only three graded No photo MS63 -- more than 20 graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/46076809 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24121523 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24744684 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24121525 MS64 -- more than 70 graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24058626 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24121527 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24121509 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/30964670 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80129075 MS65 -- more than 100 graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80293052 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39526190 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26335282 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/34160183 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80129858 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/40799174 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/20141678 MS66 -- more than 100 graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/44252224 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/44740612 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/43256366 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/47363318 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80293839 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80155346 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80293093 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80155343 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80127878 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80234909 MS67 -- more than 30 graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/41450200 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/47363320 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39654340 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/83797313 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/48748916 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/46247531 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45203810 MS68 -- more than 20 graded (no TrueView) https://www.pcgs.com/cert/42215018 MS69 -- only one graded https://www.pcgs.com/cert/48159458 MS70 -- none graded No photo Edited by joe_77 07/07/2024 03:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
