Yi Hyong 5 Yang Year 501 (1892) MS62 NGC, KM1114, JNDA 18-5, CKCB-30.1. A highly elusive type from a conditional standpoint--a fact that is undoubtedly due in part to an original mintage that numbered only 20,000. Even within the certified portion of the overall surviving population, most representatives appear to be grade-bound within or below the AU level, resulting in high demand for Mint State examples whenever they are located. Of over 200 specimens certified between NGC and PCGS to date, only seven currently certify finer than the present piece, which displays remarkable underlying glassy luster, hints of colorful iridescence, and a general aura of quality greatly exceeding that which is typically seen at this level of certification. Sharply struck, elegant, and with only light instances of handling for the grade, this fleeting issue should be met with fierce bidder competition.
