Chekiang. Kuang-hsü 50 Cents ND (1898-1899) MS64 PCGS, Hangchow mint, KM-Y54, L&M-283, Kann-120, WS-1020. One of a handful of incredibly rare 50 Cent issues within this very auction, here representing Chekiang as the only 1/2 Dollar from this elusive province. While the absolute rarity of this piece is undeniable, with only 52 examples receiving straight-grade, its sheer visual and conditional appeal propels it into an elite tier. An inspiring champagne tone amplifies the engraved devices of both faces and become further enlivened by a generous mint brilliance. While bested by only four finer examples, those of this caliber are few and far between; the last full Gem was seen at auction more than four years prior.
