Dollar nd. (1912), Wuchang mint - Founding of the Republic (KM321, L&M45, Kann639) - Obv: Bust General Li Yüan-Hung without hat facing / Rev: Value within blossoms - 26.80 g. - NGC MS64 (8361432-001), a true conditional and aesthetic outlier of this classical Chinese rarity. Relatively easy to come across in lower Mint State designations, yet when seen in MS64, it becomes quite scarce. Watery resplendence abounds this early Republican-era piece, whose lustrous finish seemingly knows no bounds. A thoroughly handsome rendition of this 'no hat' Dollar and one best appreciated when viewed in hand
