CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, Year 3 (1914). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-63 Gold Shield.L&M-72; K-643; KM-Pn32; WS-0166; Wenchao-pg. 534#858 (rarity three stars); Shanghai Museum-Mr. Shi Jiagans collection-pg. 137#633; Sun-III-2-15. Quite pleasantly toned, this EXCEPTIONALLY RARE pattern issue presents stunning beauty through its alluring gunmetal gray surfaces along with a deeper cobalt nature and charming underlying luster. Tied with just three others at this level in the PCGS census, and exceeded by only one example--an MS-64 that was our last offering of this type: our August Hong Kong auction (lot 52090).Vastly different from the adopted type, as this piece features a three-quarters facing portrait of Yuan Shih-kai, rather than the left facing portrait found on the circulation issues. An incredible offering and one which will no doubt elicit a great deal of interest and increased attention from the community.
