Republic Yuan Shih-kai Dollar Year 10 (1921) AU50 PCGS, KM-Y329.6, L&M-79A, WS-0183-2. Vertical dot in Nien variety. One of the scarcest and most challenging subvarieties of this instantly recognizable emission, prominently displaying a vertical bar in place of a dot in the nien character. Seldom-seen when placed at auction, with only a handful of appearances in recent decades according to our records, and generally to significant fanfare. Assigned the second highest catalog value for the date by Wang Chun Li, we can only anticipate the strong interest this gently handled rendition will garner.
