The latest price of Yuan Datou eight years!
The coin market has performed exceptionally well in recent years, with fine products emerging in various sectors and steadily increasing transaction prices. Coins from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican eras have particularly surged in popularity. Machine-made silver coins from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican eras have long held a deep collectible heritage. Their scarcity has also attracted high-end collectors, making them a new hotspot in the coin market. The Yuan Datou 8th Year coin is a popular example, experiencing significant activity and fetching high prices.
The standard edition of the Eighth Year Coin had a relatively large circulation. Its steel molds were manufactured by foreign manufacturers. The writing conforms to the structure of Chinese characters, with no variations in shape. The Jiahe pattern on the back is also standardized. A distinctive feature is the extra toothing on the inner edge of the front of the floral decoration on the front of Yuan's portrait, without a gap (as is the case with other reign-year coinages). Several other editions with smaller mintage numbers differ primarily in the way the character "造" (created) is written:
1. The fourth stroke of the character "造" extends downward to form the character "牛", but it is not connected to the character "口" below, so it is called the "牛" version.
2Some "牛" characters are connected with "口" characters, so they are called "连口版".
The character "口" in the character "造" (creating) is missing the upper horizontal stroke, forming a gap, so it is called the gap version.
4. The "口" in the word "造" is very flat, and the hole in the middle of the "口" cannot be seen, so it is called a "mouthless" version.
In addition, there are horizontal dot year version, vertical dot year version, grass head flower version, T-dot year version, left-awn hook version, pregnant six-bead version, double pregnant six-bead version, knot upper dot version, knot inner dot version, two-awn curved hook version, etc.
The Yuan Datou is known as the "treasure of silver coins" in the coin collecting community. It is the most widely circulated and influential of nearly a thousand modern Chinese silver coins, and a key player in the evolution of China's modern monetary system. The Yuan Datou's high liquidity is another factor that attracts collectors, contributing to its promising future.
