Hold a piece of late nineteenth-century Japanese history with this Meiji 26 (1893) Dragon 10 Sen Silver Coin, graded MS65 (UNC-FDC) by PCGS. It belongs to a celebrated era when Japan moved to modern milled coinage while keeping traditional imperial symbols, namely the dragon and the imperial chrysanthemum crest, front and center.
This particular coin comes in an older, solid blue PCGS holder, the kind that gives off a bit of nostalgic charm on its own. The surface shows a light, subtle dullness, but the strike holds up well and the chrysanthemum crest at the center remains crisp and clear, giving the coin an uncirculated look despite its age. It's classified as the "e-type" standard die variety.
Between the grade, the clean strike, and a price that feels like a genuine bargain for this quality, this coin is a solid pick for any serious numismatic collection.
