CHINA. Kwangtung. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-62.
L&M-134; K-27; KM-Y-202; WS-0943. Boasting a vibrance that is seldom encountered, the present minor is rich with an original argent luster and details that leave little to be desired. A soft cartwheel of light radiates gently from the surfaces, with a warm irradiance emanating from the planchet. A few wisps of friction on the character side likely account for the grade assigned, though these are not unsightly or aggressively eye-catching. A lovely example of the increasingly popular type, and one that we foresee no shortage of active bidders participating in.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
