CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC EF-40.
L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. The always popular type, this specimen provides a lovely and original charm to it. Though circulated, this example bears little major effacement, and even the central strike weakness is not overtly distracting. Coated in a plum toning that gives this piece character, one would be tempted to call this a premium for the grade example. A wonderful Auto Dollar, and one that any collector would be pleased to park in a collection of Chinese RARTIES.
Estimate: $25000 - $40000
