China
Republic Yuan Shih-kai 50 Cents Year 3 (1914) AU58 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y328, L&M-64, Kann-655, WS-0175-1. A highly elusive minor when encountered in any designation resembling Mint State, usually witnessed in lesser tiers and with some qualifying remark pertaining to surface condition. Borderline uncirculated in both appeal and appearance while only mild surface friction establishes the grade of this exceedingly attractive offering, punctuated by an undercurrent of champagne effervescence illuminated by ample mint flash.
