Abstract? "Yuan Datou" is known as the treasure of silver dollar in coin collection. It is the most widely spread and influential silver dollar variety among nearly a thousand kinds of modern silver coins in China. So how much was Yuan Datou worth in the three years of the Republic of China? How to tell its version? Let Bian Xiao answer you one by one.
The first silver network reported on August 23 that the silver dollar was imported. It first entered China, about the Ming Dynasty, but it was widely circulated in the Qing Dynasty. There are also some silver coins that are issued less in the market, such as Sanfan Silver Coin, Bamboo Slip Silver Coin, and Gansu Yuan Datou Silver Coin. Among them, Yuan Shikai's head silver coin, commonly known as "Yuan Datou Silver Dollar", is the most widely circulated, influential and longest-lived silver coin.
"Yuan Datou" silver dollar has a high collection value.
"Yuan Datou" is a common name for silver coins engraved with Yuan Shikai's profile in the early years of the Republic of China. Because it was first cast in the third year of the Republic of China, it is also called "Minsan", so this kind of title has a long history. As the leader of warlord silver coins in the Republic of China, the "Big Head" series is no stranger to coin collectors. The birth of "Yuan Datou" silver dollar is also the inevitable result of the development of silver dollar. After the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai issued silver coins to solve the military expenditure and improve his personal political status, which was named after these silver coins were cast with their sideways figures.
The rise and fall of international gold and silver prices also stimulated the traditional collection market. In the past five years, the "Yuan Datou" in the Republic of China has been rising and falling. Even under the impact of the financial crisis in 2008, the price of "Yuan Datou" remained stable. The insiders believe that the future collection of "Yuan Datou" still has great value space.
It is understood that ancient coins, silver ingots and machine-made coins auctioned in Beijing 20 14 have won good news one after another, and a 7.3 silver coin from Guangdong was sold at a high price of 920,000 yuan. In the current market, even the ordinary "Yuan Datou" has risen from about 100 yuan in the 1990s to dozens of times now, with a considerable appreciation, not to mention some beautiful ones.
"Yuan Datou" represents China's modern monetary culture and reflects the ups and downs of China's modern history, economy and finance. It has high artistic and cultural value, and also has certain preservation and appreciation functions. At present, the number of "Yuan Datou" preserved by the people is not too much, and silver is a precious metal, which is very suitable for investment and collection.
How does Yuan Datou distinguish between versions? The main editions and prices of Yuan Datou in the three-year edition of the Republic of China;
1."o" version. That is to say, there is an "O" inscription on the golden harvest pattern, a horizontal "8" at the golden harvest knot, a tiny "O" circle in the upper left hole, and Yuan Xiang's chin front collar is unsealed, with wide epaulettes and five-star protrusions.
At present, the market value is about 800 ~ 1 ten thousand.
2. Rough version. Yuan has thick hair and wavy hairstyle. Jiahe tie did not form an "8" knot, but formed an irregular circle on the right side of a bunch of Jiahe tie.
The current market value is about 1.20 ~ 1.6 million.
3. Triangular circular plate. The word "mouth" in the circle on the back of this coin forms a "delta" shape, and other versions are "opening" shapes.
The current market value is about180 ~ 2.3 million.
4. Open shell version. The bottom horizontal line of the word "shell" in the word "circle" of this coin is not connected with the vertical pen, forming an "open shell". There are obvious stripes on Yuan Xiang's epaulettes in this edition, and there is a straight line from top to bottom in Yuan's eyes, commonly known as "open eyes", which is also unknown in other editions.
The current market value is about 1.20 ~ 1.6 million.
5. Add the word "Gansu". This coin is an old model used by Lanzhou Mint in Gansu Province in the third year of the Republic of China, and it is about yuan Xiang. In the third year of the Republic of China, the word "Gansu" (triangle circle) was cast on the back of Yuan Datou, and the rest were in the same shell version, only tens of thousands of pieces were cast.
The current market value is about 2.6-3 million.
6. Signature version. This coin is very rare. Tianjin Mint tried to cast sample coins, but there was no circulation. The coin is engraved with a vertical line of English letters "L.GioRGi" on the right side of the statue, which is the abbreviation of the signature of "Rurgi-Giorgio", a foreign coinage expert and Italian sculptor in China.
At present, the market value is around 4 million.
7. "T" side, Eagle Sea. These two kinds of coins are relatively rare, and they are the trial coins of Tianjin Mint General Factory. The front and back patterns are the same as the general "Yuan Datou" in circulation, but they are different on the side teeth, which are T-shaped edges or eagle-shaped edges.
At present, the market value is above 3.2 million.
