Lot 1345: Republic of China, Gold Memento Dollar China - Republic of China, Gold Memento Dollar, ND(1927) Restrike Circa 1949, Study Coin, Possible Fantasy. 39.1mm, Wire Rim 44.2g – Reeded Edge. Similar to L&M-1104. Scans as Gold but appears to be sub .750 purity and NGC deemed as authenticity unverifiable, but did not condemn it; quite impressive with no comparable pieces to reference. Possibly a museum piece or early collector copy, a hefty and impressive study coin of unverified intrinsic content, worthy of further research. Flashy AU-Unc with some stray hairlines and a few random rim nicks, lt edge marks and whispy scs. A really unique opportunity for the specialist.
