Republic Yuan Shih-kai 50 Cents Year 3 (1914) MS65 PCGS, Tientsin mint, KM-Y328, L&M-64, Kann-655, WS-0175-1. The finest representative of this always contested minor type this cataloger has had the pleasure of handling, almost pristine for the type with a census that tops out just a single point finer. Wholly Gem Mint State appearances abound, punctuated by a pervasive frost and waves of brilliance that ripple across the surfaces upon inspection, serving to highlight steel blue silhouettes lending completely to velveteen surfaces. Of the more than 3,000 certified examples at PCGS, only twelve rank higher, and, coupled with the recent surge in popularity for these impressively preserved minors, will demand exceptional interest from the advanced collector of Republic issues. From the Tony Ma Collection
