(t) CHINA. Hupeh. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1895-1907). Wuchang Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-65.
L&M-183; K-41; KM-Y-126; WS-0874. With over 700 examples of the type seen at PCGS, this sublime specimen is tied with one other at its grade level, with just one finer--attesting to its absolute RARITY at such an elevated state of preservation. Largely untoned, the steely gray Gem presents only a subtle almond flair to its surfaces. Meanwhile, rich lustrous brilliance dominates and abounds throughout, with a sharp, pleasing strike evident as well.
Estimate: $20000 - $30000
