K-869 (for official issue in nickel) & p. 307 note; cf. KM-Y-362 (same). A RARE offering in silver, this off-metal striking would appear to be a product of free time at the mint rather than an official issue, with Kann noting that "...type 869 exists also in silver and gold; but these are positively 'mint sport'". Fairly argent and vibrant, with some tinges of burnished toning within the maeander border of each side. Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000. Provenance: From the Liu Mung Wang (汪柳門) Collection.
