(t) CHINA. Kwangtung. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-134; K-27; KM-Y-202; WS-0943. Always a popular type from the imperial "dragon Dollar" series and respective minors, this 50 Cents issue presents its dragon in a largely untoned fashion, with rather deep color surrounding and accentuating it. Meanwhile, the reverse is even more deeply toned, with glints of brilliance scattered about, and a somewhat lighter nature upon the characters, allowing them to stand out from the fields.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
