(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. 5 Mace (Miscals), ND (1910). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details.
L&M-818; K-1017; KM-Y-6.10; Wenchao-pg. 257#343 (rarity 3 stars). Variety with four auspicious bats around the dragon. An ever-popular type, this issue seldom appears on the market and is always a collector favorite. The strike is better than normally encountered with honest wear, there is a slight weakness on the reverse at "錢" with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices and a hint of tone. Close inspection reveals evidence smoothing in the fields and around the device's accounts for the detail's designation. Despite its shortcomings this desirable piece is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $3500 - $5000
