Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2544280, member: 16729"]That Year 33 10 Yen coin is hard to come by in Mint State.  The hard years for the 10 Yen, just from my own subjective viewpoint of trying to obtain decent, Mint State examples of these coins (from its First Year, 1951 to 1980) are: Year 30, 1955 (harder than you think, and possibly the hardest!  I'm still looking for one)Year 32, 1957 (the "big" key date, and hard to find in Mint State, but I finally found a good RB example.  Try to find a graded Red one that doesn't set you back three bills.  Good luck...)Year 33, 1958 (another tough one to find, let alone in Red). Year 25, 1951 (Can be found in MS, but getting harder.  Red examples are sooo hard to find). And don't get me started on the 1 Yen and 5 Yen coins!   Surprisingly, the ones that I find to be the least common anywhere among these two coins are the 1960, 1961 and 1962!   And these aren't even considered key.[/QUOTE]
