Sinkiang. Hsüan-t'ung Sar (Tael) ND (1910) MS64 NGC, KM-Y7, L&M-811, Kann-1008, WS-1304. Variety without Chahtai characters and no border around the dragon. A monumental outlier from a series almost exclusively witnessed in highly impaired or circulated conditions, bringing impressive sums regardless of assignment but especially so when approaching Mint State preservation. The piece on offer presents a unique opportunity to acquire this type so fine, ranking among the best Taels of Sinkiang origin between both grading services and further compounded by an outstanding aesthetic caliber. Showcasing a bold cabinet tone of amber and tangerine that envelopes gunmetal expanses, the offering at hand is unlikely to find an equal, with the majority of Mint State specimens to come to market in the last twenty years lacking significant visual character. Despite central striking weakness and planchet flaws to the reverse typical of this type, the current specimen will demand an elevated bidder response and is doubtlessly a great rarity when encountered so fine.
