The 50 sen is for stork, and the 2 Cuba 20 centavos (listed as very common) are harder than hell to find in high grade. I'm still (after 5 years) looking for the 1970 and 1971 in Unc!

    That Japanese coin can't be that common in MS-66!

    The Cuba are tough, especially the '69 and '71. The cu/ni '62 issues are probably even tougher. These
    coins are common in Cuba but they are extremely heavily worn. Generally coins that are tough here are
    tough in their home countries as well.

    There has been an embargo for decades. ...think Canada.
