CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), CD (1900). NGC MS-62.
L&M-532; K-400; Y-182.3; WS-0413. Small date characters. A nice sharp full strike which is well above average for Kirin issues, especially evident in the scales of the dragon and the flower basket. Delicate toning with satin luster throughout. A beautiful example of this normally somewhat crude type. Tied with seven others in this grade, five PCGS and one NGC, with three finer. NGC MS-62.
