Flawless glossy prooflike surfaces displaying a lovely mixture of milk chocolate and mahogany with just a hint of original mint red.

Ex: R. B. White. PCGS #150836. PCGS SP-65 BN Secure Holder. 品相絕佳十文樣幣 袁世凱像共和紀念十文銅幣。樣幣。大面像。 PCGS評鑒最高。作者並未提及鑄造具體年份，但可以確定是黎元洪赴北京就任副總統職前鑄成，即1913年12月左右。此拍品與本場拍賣中另一拍品W971袁世凱共和紀念銅樣幣小面像極為相似，唯此枚中袁像胸飾稍大，於鬍鬚、肩章及背面嘉禾卷草紋處亦均有細微不同。鑄打奇峻，無需放大便已能看到每處細節的細緻入微。表面光澤亮麗，了無瑕疵，巧克力色與赭石色調交融漸變，亦透出些微原廠紅光。極罕，定會成為買家藏品中的亮眼佳品。
