According to Mr Zou, "Yuan Datou" is the most common kind of silver dollar collection, and it is also the one with the largest collection in the hands of citizens. Because Yuan Datou has a lot of casting sites, a large amount of casting and a large amount of surviving, the price of Yuan Datou is relatively low among many silver coins. However, in recent years, with the increasingly active collection market and the increasing number of collectors, Yuan Datou, with its relatively low price, has attracted wide attention of collectors, and its appreciation potential is generally optimistic. Therefore, under the pursuit of everyone, the value of Yuan Datou is getting higher and higher.
Mr Zou said that the editions of Yuan Datou are very rich, because there are many casting sites. According to the face value, it can be divided into one yuan, middle yuan (fifty cents, half yuan), two corners and one corner; It can be divided into three years, five years, eight years, nine years and 10 years according to the year number. Although there are many versions of "Yuan Datou" and many casting sites, their standard weight is 26.6g, and the fineness is 89% of silver and 89% of copper 1 1%. So it also provides a simple identification method for collectors.
Among these numerous versions, the casting volume in the five years of the Republic of China was small, so its market price was also high; In the 8th year of the Republic of China, "Yuan Datou" was made of steel molds made by Bohan Mint in England. These coins are beautifully printed and have high collection value. In addition, the "Yuan Datou" with the word "Gansu" issued by casting in Gansu Province is relatively rare, and the current market price is about 3,500 yuan/piece; What is particularly precious and rare is the one-yuan signature version in the third year of the Republic of China. Because the right side of Yuan Shikai's statue is engraved with the Latin signature "L GioRGi" of Italian sculptor "Rurgigio", which was cast by Tianjin Mint and has not been circulated, it is difficult to witness its true face and rarely seen in coin auctions. It is estimated that its current value is about several hundred thousand yuan, which is a rare treasure in modern silver coins.
According to Mr. Zou, in addition to the rapid increase in the price of the ordinary version of one yuan, the face value of one yuan has also risen sharply. At present, the market reference prices are 500 yuan, 100 yuan and 150 yuan respectively.
