China
Republic Sun Yat-sen "Memento" Dollar ND (1912) MS65 PCGS, KM-Y318.1, L&M-48. Upper five-pointed stars, dot below ear. A remarkable example of this type with wholly original surfaces and full luster beneath lovely gold-gray tone which expresses hints of subtle iridescence. Well-deserving of the Gem designation, few marks of note appear anywhere besides the highest relief of the design features, leaving the surfaces overall with a stunning velvety texture that is exceptionally pleasing in hand.
