CHINA. Fukien. Mint Error -- Double Reverse -- Fantasy Ration Dollar, ND (ca. 1844). EXTREMELY FINE.
cf. L&M-290; cf.WS-1028. Weight: 22.89 gms. A particularly interesting example from the Fantasy series where a multi-step process was incorporated to create this double obverse error or mint sport. The two sides appear to have been seamlessly conjoined as part of the manufacturing process. Based on style of manufacture we believe the types from this series with the three piece planchets were produced around the 1930s to 1950s. Both NGC and PCGS have declined certification as ineligible type and as such is SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS. A lovely and fascinating example with lots of character and attractive patina destine for an advanced collection of Fantasies.
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
