Republic Sun Yat-sen "Lower 5-Pointed Stars" Dollar ND (1912) MS63 Prooflike NGC, KM-Y319, L&M-42. Low Stars variety. Gorgeous for the type, the lightly frosted devices of this choice specimen stand in stark contrast against fields demonstrating prooflike reflectivity. This comes as a likely consequence of having been struck with freshly polished dies, which have left the faintest of vertically-oriented die polish lines in the fields, a sign of both this piece's uniqueness and its full originality.
