1911 Japan 10 Sen – NGC AU53 – Extremely Low Population
Offered here is a 1911 Japan 10 Sen (10S), graded AU53 by NGC.
This attractive early 20th-century Japanese silver coin is a wonderful example of Japan's Meiji-era coinage and an appealing addition to any collection of Japanese or world coins.
Exceptional NGC Population
The NGC population for this specific AU53 grade is only 3 examples, making an AU53 example notably difficult to locate in certified holders.
As of 2026, NGC reports:
- AU53: Only 3 coins graded
- Higher Grades: 90 coins
- Total graded: 93 coins at AU53 or higher
While the population report should not be interpreted as a measure of absolute rarity—since additional examples may exist that have not been submitted for certification—the extremely low number of coins certified specifically in AU53 makes this an interesting opportunity for collectors who appreciate condition rarity and certified Japanese coinage.
