Meiji 3 (1870) 1 Yen Type 1, KM-Y5.1, lightly cleaned U
<B>Meiji 3 (1870) 1 Yen Type 1,</B></I> KM-Y5.1, lightly cleaned UNC with bold strike and prooflike fields. There is a noticeable reverse rim bump at 12 o'clock. The edge is sharp and square and the look is totally different from the normal Meiji 3, 1 Yen. The only similar pieces this cataloger has seen, with deeply mirrored fields, was two Proofs, many years ago in Tokyo. This piece has the look of a Specimen, or Proof striking, as did those coins in Tokyo.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
