ANNAM. 3 Tien, ND (1841-47). Thieu Tri. NGC MS-64.
KM-274; Sch-239. Weight: 12.62 gms. This tremendously appealing example--the finer of just two seen across both major services--presents a very crisp, sharp strike as well as alluring amber-gunmetal gray toning and some hints of brilliance emanating from the protected areas. The dragons, in particular, are bold and full of character, seemingly dancing toward the viewer. The only other graded specimen--an NGC MS-62 with numerous small scratches on its rims--realized a total of $10,800 in December 2021, and shows the heights to which this VERY RARE near-Gem could soar.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
