China
Kuang-hsü 20 Cents ND (1908) MS64 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y13, L&M-12, Kann-217, WS-0030. Variety with dot at the end of the dragon's tail. A minor which can truthfully be summed up as pure eye-candy, the pearly brilliance of the surfaces tinged by a hint of peach and iridescent tone. Certainly among the upper tier of certified examples, with only 5 between 1 to 2 points finer across NGC and PCGS, and the ideal type coin for its future owner.
