Tibet. Theocracy 1/4 Rupee ND (1904-12) MS65 PCGS, Chengdu mint, KM-Y1, L&M-362 (Szechuan), K-596. An immaculate survivor of this elusive fractional denomination, and perhaps the finest of the type to exist, with delicately toned surfaces that border on pristine and possess glowing luster that is especially apparently on the obverse. Given that the previous record price for the type was $17,000 hammer for a clearly lesser PCGS-graded MS64, this little Gem could quite possibly be destined for a record price!
