Republic of China, Yuan Shi Kai Special Strike Silver Dollar,Year 3 (1914), LM-72, K-643. PCGS's opinion is Authenticity Unverfiable, but in our opinion, it is genuine but cleaned. Need viewing. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURN.

"民國三年(1914年)袁世凱像七分臉1元銀幣。天津造幣總廠試鑄,未發行。PCGS的意見是不能辨別真偽,但我們的意見是看真,但有洗,需要親臨預覽。此枚幣現況出售,不得退換。
1914年2月,財政部公佈《國幣條例》定下銀本位幣制後,天津造幣總廠即開始籌備新幣,由意大利籍總雕刻師路易·喬治(Luigi Giorgi)操刀設計製模。喬治之前未見過袁世凱本人,乃以照片為樣進行雕刻,完成後親自攜帶樣幣赴京覲見。呈覽時卻發現所鏤肖像與本人神采差異甚大,無法顯示袁的強人形象而未受讚賞。重新雕刻後的肖像即“袁大頭”流通銀元上的側面像,而原刻成的樣幣習稱“袁像七分臉”,分“L.GIORGI”簽字版與無簽字版兩種,皆存世數量極少,為罕見的精製樣幣。 —摘自孫浩編著《百年銀圓》,上海科學技術出版社,2012年,頁126
