CHINA. 50 Cents, Year 3 (1914). NGC SPECIMEN-64+.
L&M-64; K-655; KM-Y-328; WS-0175-1. The finer of just two 50 Cents minors--across both major services--to receive the Specimen designation, with the only other merely attaining the grade of NGC SP-63. This shimmering and exceptionally dazzling piece was clearly issued for presentation purposes, radiating with a glossy sheen that is normally reserved for strikings of high importance. Though largely blast white and argent, there are some subtle hues of golden champagne sprinkled throughout, further augmenting its appeal. Given the IMMENSE RARITY and the exploding popularity of the entire Yuan Shih-kai series, this elegant minor should undoubtedly attain incredible heights and generate tremendous enthusiasm. Furthermore, its inclusion next to the Year 3 Proof Dollar shows off the breathtaking nature that special emissions from this series can offer.
Estimate: $50000 - $75000
