October 2022 Hong Kong World Coins Auction

詳細說明: Radiantly Lustrous and Wholesome Near Gem "High Stars" Dollar (t) CHINA. Dollar, ND (1912). Nanking Mint. PCGS MS-64. L&M-48; K-600; KM-Y-318; WS-0158. High five-pointed stars variety. A captivating example of this elusive and constantly type, this near-Gem radiates a wonderous and gentle luster that sparkles like a diamond. The strike is resolute and leaves little to be desired, with the details being pleasantly chatter free and the surfaces displaying no evidence of harsh friction. A few touches of tone rim the periphery, adding to the desirability of this example. Resounding with appeal, this Dollar is a piece that any collector would be thrilled to add to their numismatic cabinet. Traditionally attributed in the west as dating to 1912, it now seems more likely that this transitional issue occurred much later, possibly emanating from 1927 for the 16th anniversary of the Republic. In this way, it would have acted as a bridge between the low five-pointed stars variety of 1912 and the high six-pointed stars variety of 1927. Estimate: $20,000 - $30,000.
