China
Yunnan. Republic T'ang Chi-yao gold 10 Dollars ND (1919) MS63 NGC, KM-Y482, L&M-1057, Kann-1524. Variety with "1" below the tassels on flags. The second highest grade awarded to this largest denomination Republican issue of Yunnan by both NGC and PCGS--an especially impressive feat when considering the large number of examples that come cleaned or used in jewelry. Featuring well-cut features and a noticeably watery sheen of surface luster, the viewer would be hard-pressed to find a stray mark of any serious consequence.
