CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), Year 24 (1898). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-452; K-194; KM-Y-62.1; WS-0622. Quite dazzling and appealing, this handsome minor features a rather captivating cabinet nature to the toning and some resounding brilliance nearer the peripheries. What has been interpreted as light handling is seemingly some central striking weakness. As such, a premium-quality piece for the grade assigned.
From the Hobart Collection.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
