Lot description: (t) CHINA. 20 Cents, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS MS-63. L&M-40; K-229; KM-Y-29; WS-0048. Always a popular type on account of it striking dragon and overall elegant design, this specimen offers a level of resounding quality and eye appeal that is not often encountered for the type. Crisp and well preserved in the fields, and with a good deal of radiating brilliance and soft pastel toning, it undoubtedly stands as one of the finer of the emission that one can hope to encounter. As such, expect this conditional RARITY to soar rather high when it crosses the auction block. Estimate: $40000 - $60000 |
