Yuan Shikai's Republic of China Year 3 Medium Silver Coin (Yuan Datou Medium Silver Coin) is sold at a high price | Hong Kong Silver Dollar Recycling

🔍 Why does the "Yuan Shikai Dollar (Middle Coin)" have such high collection and recycling value?

The 1914 Yuan Shikai silver coin (commonly known as the Yuan Shikai silver dollar or five-cent silver coin ) was issued as subsidiary currency at the time, with a mintage far lower than that of the one-yuan coin. Due to long-term market circulation wear and tear and historical reasons, the number of well-preserved "Yuan Shikai silver dollars" is relatively small. Therefore, in the Hong Kong silver coin buyback market , its premium is often higher than that of ordinary one-yuan silver coins.

For seasoned collectors, the Zhongyuan coin is not only an important piece of the Republic of China's monetary system, but also a key variety for measuring the completeness of a silver coin collection.

💎 Key factors affecting the buyback price of Yuan Shikai silver dollars

Many customers ask, " How much is my Yuan Shikai silver dollar worth? " In fact, the buyback price of silver coins is not fixed, but determined by the following core factors:

1. Rare Varieties :

   Besides the regular three-year commemorative banknotes, there are also a very small number of "signed versions" (signed by L. Giorgi) or special "Fujian versions." The market price for special versions can be several times or even dozens of times that of the regular versions.

2. Condition & Grading :

   • Luster : Silver coins with the swirl luster they had when they left the factory command the highest prices.

   • Patina : Naturally formed iridescent patina or old patina is highly sought after by collectors. Do not attempt to clean it yourself, as cleaning will significantly reduce the value of the silver coin .

   • Wear details : The fineness of Yuan Shikai's hair and the three-dimensionality of his epaulets are important criteria for judging the degree of wear.

3. Flaws in existence :

   The presence or absence of a stamp (bank seal), repair marks, and edge damage (marks from a fall from a height) will directly affect the final price.
