Sinkiang. Republic Sar (Tael) Year 6 (1917) MS62 NGC, Tihwa mint, KM-Y45.1, L&M-838, Kann-1265, Hsien-Chang-230-1. No rosette at top of reverse (obverse as holdered)variety. A type rarely encountered in Mint State preservation, this near-choice representative ranks at the top of the census for the no rosette variety, tied with three others at NGC, and surpassed by only four examples seen by PCGS. An issue that has gained in popularity in recent years, exhibiting a silty patination subduing what would otherwise be highly lustrous appearances, tinged with peach undertones.
