Republic Yuan Shih-kai Dollar Year 8 (1919) MS64 PCGS, KM-Y329.6, L&M-76, Kann-665, WS-0180-1. Variety with dot in nien not connected. Fantastically covetable condition for this key date in the series, with PCGS's population report recording only 4 pieces in MS64+ and one in MS65 out of 2,840 currently certified. Lavishly overlaid with a thick sheen of satin texture that intensifies on the reverse, while a cool mottling of tone colors the peripheries, it seems hardly an exaggeration to say that this coin could quite easily be seen with a higher grade.
