China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai Dollar Year 3 (1914) MS64 Prooflike NGC, KM-Y329, L&M-63, Kann-646. Yuan not connected variety. Bestowed the exceptionally elusive Prooflike designation, sharing a total population of five out of thousands certified. This offering is instantly recognizable as special, struck with clarity and imbued with a cameo-like effect against reflective and watery low-lying fields. The reverse is even more dramatic, with lightly frosted foliage set against mirrored surfaces heavy in die polish. A truly scarce offering and one collectors would be remiss to pass up.
