Here is a One Yen that I consider a scarce coin. It is a Gin counterstamped coin with an Obv. chopmark in Mint state condition. PCGS will give a numerical grade to a Gin counterstamed coin but in this case because of the chopmark PCGS considers that damage ( code 98 designation) and will not issue a numerical grade. U.S. chopmarked Trade dollars can be given a numerical grade by PCGS. I wish PCGS would extend the practice to other Trade dollars of the Orient as well.
