On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collectors items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $27.75 / maximum $538.40). Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions.</em> <em>Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.</em> (t)

CHINA. Silver Dollar Pattern, ND (1916). Tientsin Mint. Hung-hsien (Hongxian [Yuan Shih-kai]). NGC MS-63. L&M-945; K-664; KM-Pn52; WS-0100A; Wenchao-1101 (rarity: ★★). Variety with hat plume touching rim. A marvelous RARITY from the famed series, this example of one of the most demanded and hardest to acquire types, with just 16 specimens certified by PCGS and NGC (<em>as opposed to the normally encountered L&M-942, that has over 500 certified examples</em>). The strike is supremely sharp, leaving no detail unimpressed on the planchet. Rich, dark toning fleets and flicks across the surfaces, with the fields being swirled in a haze of die polish. Some friction and a single mark on the reverse likely account for the choice grade. A premium example, and one that does not enter the market particularly frequently. Most assuredly, this example will command premium bids, and may well render the estimate range nonsensical. Ex: Chen Collection. Ex: Ultima Collection.
