Tantalizingly Rare Yuan Shih-kai in Proof CHINA. Dollar, Year 3 (1914). PCGS PROOF-65. cf. L&M-63 (for business strike); cf. K-646 (same); cf. KM-Y-329 (same); cf. WS-0174-1 (same). It is difficult to find the words appropriate to convey the sublime brilliance and radiating appeal of this EXCEEDINGLY RAREfirst year Yuan Shih-kai Dollar with a proof striking. Though a few proofs for this initial emission are known, the present majestic example is tied with just one other for the top spot at PCGS, with three lesser specimens observed, along with none by NGC. Rather appropriately, thicker, well-incised rims are seen, along with intricate hair detail and stunningly rendered leaves on the reverse. Meanwhile, the mirroring in the fields is extremely strong and, when combined with the subtle and enchanting nature of the frosting to the devices, yields a visage verging upon cameo status. A keystone coin for the most advanced collections of Yuan Shih-kai Dollars, early Republican issues, or world crowns in general. Estimate: $150,000 - $300,000.
