Republic Yuan Shih-kai "Plumed Hat" Dollar Year 3 (1914) MS63 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y322, L&M-858, Kann-642, Chang-CH214, WS-0094, Wenchao-855 (rarity 1 star). Of spectacular quality, both regarding the technical grade and eye appeal of this increasingly sought-after and iconic issue. Yuan Shih-kai's portrait, boasting the "Plumed Hat" for which this type is appropriately named, is full in both its quality and the impact of its expression. A departure from previous, slightly crude portraiture, this example is the clear product of Luigi Giorgi's expertise, painstakingly detailed and precisely struck. Cascading luster fills the expanses, framing the raised features and enlivening the gentle champagne aura to the outer registers. Attractive, watery appearances abound this Choice Mint State survivor, and being of superior aesthetic quality, is expected to garner significant interest.
