Republic Sun Yat-sen "Junk" Dollar Year 23 (1934) MS66 NGC, KM-Y345, L&M-109. A marvelous example of this iconic type, displaying a veritable bloom of satiny argent luster that traverses the surfaces, essentially unobstructed by handling. A finely laid silvery patina graces the fields while adding an element of originality and visual appeal rarely seen for this type, usually capped below gem grades by regular handling and contact. This selection remains one of the finest seen by both NGC and PCGS. Out of a total population for the date that currently exceeds 62,000 only nine certify finer, rendering this offering a top-quality example in all respects.
