Yunnan. Republic T'ang Chi-yao 50 Cents ND (1917) MS63 NGC, Kunming mint, KM-Y479.1, L&M-863, Kann-673. Circle on left flag variety. A thoroughly pleasing and fully Choice representative of this popular type. Decidedly the nicest we have had the pleasure of offering, boasting attractively satiny fields projecting undulating shimmer when tilted in hand. Few minor marks to the obverse field preclude higher assignations, yet do little to detract from the overall visual appeal. Rarely encountered so fresh, and quality-minded collectors should pay close attention as the available certified population drops off dramatically in designations any higher than this.
