Comments: Obverse features the bust of Sun Yat-sen. Reverse features a Junk Boat. The Junk boat on the reverse is one of may favorite designs on a Chinese coin. Someday I have to get a "birds over" variety.
I purchased this coin in 2006 for about $90 which I thought I was overpaying a bit. I was surprised to recently find PCGS MS64 Junk dollars selling doe close to $1000 on ebay. This seems a bit crazy to me as there were almost 130 million of these coins minted. I sure the price has a lot to do with the abundance of Chinese counterfeits and lots of new collectors in China.
