Glowing Gem "High Star" Memento DollarRepublic Sun Yat-sen "Five-pointed Stars/Dot Below Ear" Memento Dollar ND (1912) MS66 NGC, KM-Y318.1, L&M-48. Five-pointed upper stars/Dot Below Ear variety. Founding of the Republic commemorative. While both Lin and Ma, and NGC list the date of this issue as 1928, we side with the Standard Catalog of World Coins and PCGS in dating it to 1912, as this seems to be the more correct date. A luxuriously satiny example demonstrating the highest of technical and visual caliber with not a single instance of meaningful. The surfaces bear a wondrous pearlescent glow, a consequence of both the silky luster of the coin and a fine silver patina which graces the expanses, displayed with near-uniformity throughout and enhancing the quality of this exceptional gem. Tied for finest certified by NGC to-date, and a praiseworthy survivor of Chinese numismatics.
