The 10 sen (Y#3) is one of the nicest shallow scale-type Meiji 3 (1870) I've seen, from the first year of Japanese milled coinage.
Unless I'm way off on my counting skills, the 5 sen is Y#6.2, the late variety with 53 rays and 65 beads (which coincidentally is the sole absentee from my silver 5 sen collection - hint, hint
Besides the very obvious rim cud, there's also a small cud on the left side of the "4" character of the date, mostly filling the open arc on that side.
