1911 China-Yunnan 50C – LM-422B “4 Circles” – MS61 - Rare
A scarce and highly collectible 1911 China-Yunnan 50 Cent (50C) silver coin, featuring the sought-after LM-422B “4 Circles” variety and graded MS61.
The LM-422B “4 Circles” Variety
The LM-422B “4 Circles” is a distinct die variety that is more elusive than the regular LM-422. The 4 Circles variety is particularly appealing to specialists and collectors who seek the scarcer die varieties within the Yunnan provincial coinage series.
Compared with the standard LM-422, the LM-422B is encountered less frequently, giving it additional collector interest and the potential to command a premium. Variety collectors understand that examples such as this can be considerably more difficult to locate, particularly in attractive Mint State grades.
Mint State MS61
This example is graded MS61, placing it firmly in the Mint State category. Finding a scarcer variety like the LM-422B in an uncirculated grade adds to its desirability and makes this an excellent opportunity for collectors looking beyond the more readily available regular LM-422.
