拍品描述： 广东省造光绪元宝一钱四分四厘 PCGS SP 66

广东省造光绪元宝一钱四分四釐银样币。 PCGS和NGC样币或精制币评级中的最高分。一款精巧而引人注目的钱币，铸打深峻，近无包浆。此类币很少有如此精巧的保存状态出现在市场上。霜面图文完美地在最高点上衬托出一抹包浆，而镜面底板则呈现明亮的反射，与当今上海，渖阳或深圳造币厂生产的钱币紧密相关。从背面可以看到顺时针方向整齐的凸起同心模具线，十分有趣，在流通钱币上鲜见。是远超于市场平均水平的一枚。我们留意到该钱币在2011年8月25日的鲍德温（Baldwin）香港钱币拍卖中，＃51以28,000美元的高价拍出，自那以后就未见于市场上。

CHINA. Kwangtung. 1 Mace 4.4 Candareens (20 Cents), ND (1890-1908). PCGS SPECIMEN-66 Gold Shield. L&M-135; K-28; KM-Y-201; WS-0944. Pop: 2, none graded finer by PCGS or NGC as Specimen or Proof. A brilliant and attractive coin with prooflike fields, sharp strike, and virtually no toning. A fabulous survivor of this specimen striking that seldom appears on the market in such an elite state of preservation.

The frosted devices are virtually perfect displaying a hint a tone on the highest points while the mirrored fields offer bright reflectivity more closely associated with issues produced at the Shanghai, Shenyang or Shenzhen mints today. Neat raised concentric dies lines in a clockwise direction can be seen on the reverse giving an interesting characteristic that is not noticed on the circulation issues. A superior representative of the type far nicer than normally encountered on the market worthy of the fine cabinet of a connoisseur.For consideration we note that this piece sold for the impressive amount of $28,000 hammer in the Baldwins Hong Kong Coin Auction #51 August 25, 2011 and has been off the market since that time.
