Probably paid a premium for it, but that's no big deal. I look at the low mintage of this proof coin [400] and took it into consideration and wanted to add a modern to my little guy's Japanese coin collection. Here's a picture from the seller.

100k of these have been minted. 400 of them are proofs, the other 100k are business strikes. I believe somebody with a huge pocketbook bought a ton of these proofs and submitted them to PCGS. The two that have popped up on the bay are pretty close to being sequential in cert# count. There have been 179 of the 400 submitted to PCGS and all 179 so far have been given 70's. Japanese and their minting procedure must be pretty awesome.
