CHINA. 20 Cents, ND (1912). Nanking Mint. PCGS MS-68.
L&M-61; K-601; KM-Y-317; WS-0086. Tied for the finest example of the type certified by PCGS, this tremendous exemplar preens with a stunning coating on of tone, with cobalt and violet thoroughly caking the reverse, and moderating to some concentric rings of variegated iridescence on the obverse. The luster blazes on the obverse and still peeks through on the reverse, albeit with a more glossy sheen. Just shy of flawless, this example is about as RARE in this grade as is possible to find on early 20th century Chinese types, and is undoubtedly a beauty that is certain to drive a frenzied flurry of bidding.
