Lot Description

CHINA. Tibet. Sho (1/10 Srang), ND (1910). Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS AU-58. L&M-654; KM-Y-5; WS-0235. A RARE and elusive variety with the "bao" character in different script, this example is the finest example certified at PCGS with no examples of the type certified by NGC. Displaying with typical strike weakness for the time, this example is attractive with russet-gray surfaces. An excellent chance to own the finest certified piece of a seldom seen at minor, let alone a near-Mint State specimen. Estimate: $7,000 - $10,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
