The top NGC-certified lot in the auction sessions is a China YR8(1919) 20 Dollars graded NGC MS 61 (Session 1, lot 31765), with an estimate of $50,000 to $100,000. This was the highest-denomination coin struck in the Republic era, part of an unrealized dream to get China back on the gold standard. NGC has certified a mere 22 examples of this seldom-seen coin.
