新疆喀什光绪银圆五分。莎草造币厂。 PCGS中与另外三枚并列评鑑最高分，仅有一枚分数更高。整体优美的一枚，海蓝灰色币面出众，图文深邃，间有透现动感十足的杏色，吸引力非凡。币面底板带一些颗粒感，但瑕不掩瑜，毫不碍眼。 (t)
CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Fen (1/2 Miscal), ND (1878). Yarkand Mint. PCGS AU-55. L&M-665; KM-Y-A7.15; WS-1141. Tied for second finest certified with three other examples on the PCGS population report, only one finer (MS 62). A remarkably attractive piece overall with original looking aqua gray surfaces. The bold devices are punctuated by hints of bright, dusty apricot tone, generating exceptional eye appeal. The surfaces do exhibit a bit of granularity mentioned for accuracy, but is hardly a distraction for this high grade minor issue.
