| Lot description: (t) HONG KONG (SAR). 50 Cents, 1866. Hong Kong Mint. Victoria. PCGS MS-63. KM-8; Mars-C33; Prid-4. A majestic offering locally produced in Hong Kong, this 50 Cents issue unsurprisingly stands as one of the finest observed in the PCGS census. Just two have been graded finer, with one of the other two equally-assessed examples being another PCGS MS-63 that realized a total of $36,000 in our October 2023 Hong Kong auction (Lot # 33333). However, it can easily be seen that the present piece, with its stunning level of burnt sienna coloring, offers much more in the way of captivating flair and robust eye appeal. As such, this example is a RARITY when its combination of beauty and preservation are taken into account. Estimate: $20000 - $40000 |  |
