(t) CHINA. Dollar, Year 10 (1921). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Gold Shield.
L&M-79A; KM-Y-329.6; WS-0183-2. Variety with vertical line in "nien". This highly desirable variety seldom appears on the market and should be considered VERY RARE. The obverse is quite strong and bold features while the reverse is slight weak in the centers. Both sides show evidence of being cleaned long ago; now subdued by light attractive gray patina with richer coloration and minor deposits amongst the devices. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example sure to see spirited bidding from many collectors of this prolific issue.

It is interesting to note that we can recall only every handling one other example of the variant graded PCGS AU-50 Gold Shield. It was in our Stack's Bowers and Ponterio October Hong Kong auction Lot # 45941 where it hammered down for an impressive $6,500 plus buyer fee.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
