| Lot description: (t) CHINA. 10 Dollars, Year 8 (1919). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-61. L&M-1030; Fr-5; K-1531; KM-Y-330; WS-0059. A longstanding RARITY, this specimen features the familiar profile bust of Yuan Shih-kai, but instead in gold. Extremely brilliant and lustrous, with some minor cabinet friction accounting for the overall designation. Golden-yellow throughout, with a charming strike and no evidence of any real time spent in circulation. For the vast number of collectors of the Yuan Shih-kai series, this type undoubtedly serves as an important and highly desired limiting factor. Estimate: $30000 - $50000 |  |
