1934 $1 China Junk Dollar – NGC MS63 – Lustrous Mint State Example
Offered is a beautiful 1934 China Silver Junk Dollar, certified Mint State 63 by NGC, showcasing strong luster, clean fields, and crisp details. This coin represents one of the final silver crown issues of the Republic of China, and it remains one of the most iconic and widely collected Chinese coins of the 20th century.
Struck in .880 fine silver, the “Junk Dollar” gets its nickname from the traditional Chinese sailing ship (junk) prominently featured on the reverse. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founding father of the Republic of China. This 1934-dated issue is part of a transitional and historically rich period in Chinese history, making it both numismatically and culturally significant.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

‘’Very nice and pleasant experience. Mike, the owner took time to show me some very cool things!! He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’

‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
