福建民国三年袁世凯像福州船务局一角镍章 PCGS XF 40
福建民国三年袁世凯像福州船务局一角镍章。 正面：标准袁世凯半身像，但铸打略显粗犷；反面：锚下有植物。福州船务局非常罕见的镍章，尺寸与一角银币一致。细节清晰，可见坯饼上颗粒痕迹，底板无明显留痕。这是我们经手的第一枚，考虑到其独特性，结果可能会超出我们的估值范围。
CHINA. Fukien. Nickel "Yuan Shih-kai" Fuzhou Shipping Bureau Medallic 10 Cents, Year 3 (1914). PCGS EF-40 Gold Shield. Duan-3668. Weight: 2.65 gms. Obverse: Standard Yuan Shih-Kai bust, somewhat crudely engraved; Reverse: Anchor with plant beneath. A VERY RARE medal of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, produced in the size of a silver 10 Cents. For the type, this example remains well-detailed with a trace of granularity in the planchet and no noticeable field marks. The first of its king we have offered, and considering its elusiveness, an item that could very possibly shoot past our provided estimate range.
