Lot Description

Amazingly Preserved Sinkiang 2 Mace CHINA. Sinkiang. 2 Mace (Miscals), ND (1910). Uncertain Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS MS-63. L&M-822; K-1020; KM-Y-4; WS-1287. Variety with "Chaitai" on characters side. The sole finest example certified by PCGS, and one of only three Mint State examples holdered by PCGS, to say this piece is a conditional RARITY is to undersell the elusiveness. Handsome pastel toning coats the surfaces, with a deeper tone to the peripheries on the dragon side. The strike is full, an impressive quality for a Sinkiang issue. The planchet is largely free of afflictive marking, with the only feature of notice being the as made die lines. A piece that leaves one grasping for words with its state of preservation and alluring beauty. A minor that reaches upwards to the upmost reaches of Sinkiang coinage in terms of beauty. Estimate: $7,500 - $15,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
