(t) CHINA. Hupeh. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1909-11). Wuchang Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). NGC MS-64.
L&M-187; K-45; KM-Y-131; WS-0882; Chang-CH137. Variety with raised swirl on fiery pearl and with no dot. RARE when offered in this condition, with very few examples surviving in preservation close to Gem status. Sharply struck, with a highly lustrous flan and a beautiful swirling dance of luster. The overall blast white nature is nearly blinding and, as such, makes this a highly magnetizing example. Near the pinnacle, with only a handful of examples at PCGS or NGC ever surpassing this beauty. Certain to command premium bids from collectors looking to secure a lovely representation for their collections.
Estimate: $12500 - $17500
