China
Kweichow. Republic "Auto" Dollar Year 17 (1928) AU55 PCGS, L&M-611, Kann-757. KM-Y428. Different Doors variety (driver's door shows no line segmentation at front). Among the most desirable of all Republic dollars, and extremely rare in the observed condition, with micro-pebbled surfaces that are moderately toned throughout with deeper hues surrounding the crisply rendered, raised surfaces. A few minuscule marks are noted here and there, but little actual wear is observed. As the single finest example of this variety certified at PCGS or NGC, a coin that is destined to enter an elite collection of Chinese coinage.
Estimate: 45000-55000 USD
