Lot Description

Frosty and Argent "High Five-Pointed Stars" Dollar (t) CHINA. Dollar, ND (1912). Nanking Mint. NGC MS-65. L&M-48; K-600; KM-Y-318; WS-0158. High five-pointed stars variety. This example of the desirable and RAREvariety offers exacting strike quality and the look and appeal that one would expect from a Gem example. Lustrously white, this specimen displays essentially nothing in the way of contact or any marking that serves to break luster, while tinges of amber toning highlight the surface nearest the peripheries. An altogether charming and exceptionally handsome example of the type, and a must have for any premium collection of Republic-era Dollars. Estimate: $25,000 - $40,000.
