Lot description:
(t) CHINA. Anhwei. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Anking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-64.
L&M-204; K-53A; KM-Y-45.2; WS-1081. Variety with small rosettes and flat "si". A towering and monumental example, this type is RARELY encountered so enchanting and problem-free, with its stunning near-Gem state of preservation only making it that much more unfathomable. Mostly a light gunmetal gray in color, this piece provides some delightful champagne and olive hints at the extremes of the peripheries, serving as a way to envelope its exceptional character. Undoubtedly a show-stopping specimen, and one that should easily soar to impressive heights on account of all that it has to offer.
Estimate: $50000 - $100000 | |
