CHINA. Sinkiang. Dollar, 1949. Sinkiang Pouring Factory Mint. NGC AU-58.
L&M-842; KM-Y-46 (for type); WS-1326. "One yuan" filled in; pointed-base "1" with short serif; year 38. Fairly well struck, considering the crude nature of the type, major pockets of luster remain, and some light evidence of handling in the fields and on the devices. Hard to find in higher grades, this popular issue should generate lots of attraction on the auction block.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
