Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Military Issue" Dollar Year 3 (1914) MS63 NGC, cf. KM-Y329 (for original issue), L&M-63 (same), Kann-646 (same). Military/Warlord Issue. A Mint State example of this typically crude later production, highly desired by collectors in better conditional states, and rarely seen in this condition. Only light scattered signs of handling limit the assigned grade, with freshly lustrous, argent surfaces confirming the high level of care in preservation recognized by NGC.
