Republic Yuan Shih-kai 10 Cents Year 3 (1914) MS66 PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y326, L&M-66, Kann-659, WS-0177-1. Strikingly crisp and hardly imaginable meaningfully finer, a fact upheld by a quick survey of the certified population, which reveals a mere 4 plus-graded MS66's at PCGS, and nothing in the tier above. Indeed, the first impression one is immediately struck with when viewing the coin at hand is just how carefully it must have been stored for the past century, hardly a stray mark of any meaningful consequence observable, while the fields retain a full satin originality from every angle. Some very minor die clashing is detectable on both sides, as is usual for the type, establishing an even more charming character for the piece. From the Glorium Collection
