(t) CHINA. Taiwan. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1893-94). Uncertain

Tantalizing Taiwanese Minor with Exceptional Toning (t) CHINA. Taiwan. 7.2 Candareens (10 Cents), ND (1893-94). Uncertain Mint, likely near Foochow. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-65. L&M-328; K-134; KM-Y-247; WS-1005. Variety without "sheng", with near inner characters, with large outer characters, and with normal "fen". Providing wondrous brilliance that verges upon a prooflike nature, this specimen, while offering a robust strike, also delivers burnished toning across both types. Truly a remarkable example that is undoubtedly full of tremendous eye appeal and character. Sometimes referred to as the "small characters" type, this example really shows that the inner characters can be near or far from the inner circle, though not really differing in size, and with the lower outer characters actually showing size variance. In this case, the "near" inner characters are paired with large outer characters below. Estimate: $4,000 - $8,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
