(t) CHINA. Chekiang. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1898-99). Hangchow Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-285; K-122; KM-Y-52.4; WS-1022. An elegant example, this piece offers up stunning mint luster that is highly reflective along with some dollops of gilded toning that provide sensory overload. Some ever-so-soft friction likely accounts for the grade assigned, but nonetheless examples in this high of grade are RARELY seen, ensuring the desirability of the piece.
Estimate: $3000 - $4000
