CHINA. Pattern Dollar, Year 18 (1929). NGC MS-62.
L&M-95; K-616; KM-Pn100; WS-0139; Wenchao-pg. 565#910; Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagan's collection-pg. 129#602. American design from the Philadelphia mint, but struck in China at the Hangchow mint. In 1929, the Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered a new design for the then proposed Dr. Sun Yat-sen Dollar. Patterns were submitted from the world's five leading mints: Italy, Japan, England, United States and Austria. Upon completion, the various mints shipped the dies as well as samples of the new patterns to China. Many of the patterns were re-struck in China at the Hangchow mint, which accounts for their availability today. Smoky toning on the obverse, while the reverse features golden amber toning along the periphery. NGC MS-62.
Estimate: $9000.00- $12000.00
