these pieces came in as part of a large lot, and I shy away from this stuff typically. What Do I have, what is it worth....Loaded question.

1921 China YSK $1 Open Character Common Variety. Your piece looks to be cleaned in the past...I'd say VF Details, Cleaned If certified.

It is year 10, (1911 + 10 = 1921) as seen by the third character.

I have two 1921 China YSK $1 Coins, both MS61 - NGC + PCGS. (The NGC is going out for crossover special) Ive had others in the past, all circulated from scrap.

The first has a connected character or "T" (second character) :







The second has an open character(second character), but a double die reverse:

The Second Coin is a Memento Dollar - If the reverse has pointed stars it is 1912 (Rare) if they are rosettes it is 1927 (Common)

Hope This Helps!

The first one is a Year 10 YSK silver dollar.

Th third one is a Kiang-Nan silver dollar, chop marked.

The second one appears to be either Y#318a.1, or Y#318a.2, depending on the type of reeding.

It is 1 yuan, struck in .890 silver, and should weigh 27g.

Undated, it was issued in 1927 and is distinguishable from the undated 1912 issue (Y#318.1), which had five-pointed stars instead of the rosettes at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions, was struck in .900 silver, and weighed 26.9g..

Of course, it could also be a 1949 restrike from the Canton Mint.

Value - if genuine - is in the $50 neighborhood.
