| Lot description: CHINA. Silver "Mint Sport" Dollar, ND (ca. 1930s). Tientsin Mint. PCGS MS-62. L&M-910; K-Unlisted; KM-Unlisted; WS-Unlisted. Unmistakably the product of boundless frivolity at the central mint, this alluring and EXTREMELY RARE specimen features the muling of two reverse dies for the Yuan Shih-kai series (or, quite possibly, the reverse of the "Dragon & Phoenix" large characters Dollar, given their essentially shared design). Highly brilliant and prooflike, with immense radiance in the fields and essentially no toning of which to speak. For the afficionados of the Yuan Shih-kai series, this presents an important opportunity that simply cannot be missed, as this represents the first such instance in which we have offered the type. Rather unsurprisingly, a scanning of the archives reveals that it may be quite some time indeed before another such example of the type crosses the auction block To view all items from the Nine Dragons Collection, click here.
