China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar ND (1914) UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y322, L&M-858, Kann-642, Chang-CH214, WS-0094. 39mm. Issued to commemorate the Founding of the Republic. One of the most broadly collectible types of the Chinese series, always coming fiercely sought in all states of preservation. Rendered in its usual medallic reliefs, the present specimen only seems to show evidence of cleaning to the obverse, while the reverse contains an original khaki patina and full cartwheel luster. Perhaps a slightly more attainable selection for this issue that rapidly escalates in rarity and price in problem-free Mint State status.
