(t) CHINA. Szechuan. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1901-08). Chengdu Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS EF-45.
L&M-347; K-146; KM-Y-237.2; WS-0741. Variety with narrow-faced dragon. This tantalizingly original minor stands as an excellent survivor of the type and remains stunningly problem-free despite spending obvious time in commerce. The tone is mostly gunmetal gray, with just a hint of light handling upon the high points. Meanwhile, the characters side in particular presents a subtle mix of cobalt and burgundy that, along with some shimmering brilliance, comes alive when cradled back and forth in one's hand. VERY RARELY encountered this attractive and wondrous.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
