Dollar nd. (1912)- Founding of the Republic (KM321, L&M45, Kann639) - Obv: Bust General Li Yüan-Hung without hat facing / Rev: Value within blossoms - 26.69 g. - NGC AU58, a classical Chinese rarity, especially covetable when encountered at the very boundary of Mint State. The piece at hand displays surprisingly boisterous appearances, abundant in residual luster shimmering across raised motifs, certainly one of the most attractive of these 'no hat' Dollars in comparable grades and surely worthy of the attention of quality-minded collectors
