CHINA. Kwangtung. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-134; K-27; KM-Y-202; WS-0943. Approaching Choice condition, this minor boasts a nearly unrelenting mint luster that sparkles and preens in the light. Somewhat prooflike in strike, with a mirrored nature to the fields not often seen on business strikes. The characteristics of the piece mirror that of the contemporaneous Dollar that was produced from Heaton Mint dies (L&M-133), giving similar appearance and appeal. A touch of golden toning gently adheres to the surfaces, adding a bit of complexity to the surface characteristics. A piece that is worthy of a premium bids from those who hold advanced cabinets of difficult to find provincial coinage, or just vintage Chinese coins more generally.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
