Lot Description

Steely, Near-Gem Kirin 3 Mace 6 Candareens CHINA. Kirin. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), 1906. Kirin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-64. L&M-563; K-541; KM-Y-182.3; WS-0519. Variety with dotted "kuang" and hooked "sheng". Surpassed by only one example on the NGC census, this near-Gem delivers a sharp strike, much beyond what is standardly seen for Kirin pieces. Soft luster ripples off the surfaces, demonstrating a wholesome sheen to the eyes. Escaping harsh handling or contact, this minor retains supreme attractivity, and some as made roughness is the only feature of note on the surfaces. A tremendous example that has much to offer the connoisseur of Chinese RARITES. Estimate: $5,000 - $10,000.
