(t) CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), CD (1905). Kirin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage.
L&M-558; K-520; KM-Y-182a.1; WS-0504. Variety with crossed rosettes, hooked "kuang," and dot within Manchu scripts. Despite the noted environmental damage--which is rather minor--this charming specimen offers great detail and a pleasing gunmetal gray-olive tone. Additionally, this piece was certified before a grading level was assigned to coins with details designations, but it would easily garner an "EF Details" if graded again.
Estimate: $300 - $500
