CHINA. Kiau Chau. German Occupation. 5 Cents, 1909. Berlin Mint. NGC PROOF-67.
KM-1; K-873; J-729. A tremendous specimen by way of its condition, this example is tied with two other specimens for the finest certified proof example certified by NGC, with no PCGS example reaching this plateau. There is no doubt about this piece's status at that lofty mark with its impressive chatter free fields and crisp and refined design elements. A piece that is hard to fault, and one most assuredly worthy of a premium bid from the collector of Chinese provincial coinage seeking nothing but the best for their collection.
Ex: Virgil Brand Collection.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
