Republic Sun Yat-sen "Memento" Dollar ND (1927) MS67 NGC, KM-Y318a.1, L&M-49, Kann-608, Chang-CH184, WS-0159. Six-pointed stars variety. Simply jaw-dropping. An unfathomable and most appropriate certification for this virtually pristine and highly popular issue "Memento" Dollar. While the type is exceptionally prolific and easy to acquire even in Gem Mint State, only two others have attained such a lofty designation; a clear conditional outlier from the 45,000 certified between the two major grading services. Wholly devoid of anything resembling an imperfection and graced with the most stunning patination, likely developed after extensive time in an advanced cabinet, the example at hand remains head and shoulders above the rest. Vibrant autumnal hues pervade the central devices, concentrating to cerulean and violet silhouettes within the legends. With this in mind, coupled with the bidding fervor for "top pop" Chinese coins, this offering will doubtlessly be met with strong enthusiasm.
