Description

Attractive High Grade Auto Dollar
CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar, Year 17 (1928). PCGS AU-50 Gold Shield.
L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. Always an immensely popular type, this particular example exhibits a needle sharp strike with a minimum of field marks. It is graced with unbroken gray toning and original surfaces that belie the great care that has been taken to keep it safe from harm for many years. While not the highest grade seen in recent times, it does rate quite respectably and, given the number of lesser, details graded examples on the market, is definitely worth a strong bid. Minted to commemorate the completion of the Kweichow (Guizhou) Provincial Highway and reportedly features Governor Zhou Xicheng's personal automobile.
Estimate: $50000.00- $70000.00

誘人的貴州壹圓汽車銀幣
民國十七年貴州省政府造壹圓銀幣。汽車幣。
兩根草。經久不衰的版別。鑄打銳利,底板留痕極少。完整的灰色包漿及原廠幣面,可見多年來經妥善而仔細的保存。儘管不是最高分,此分數已屬上佳,難以一遇,定能引起熱烈競逐。 為紀念貴州首條省道公路建成而鑄,上面的汽車則是周西成自己的座駕。 On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items manufactured in China. Accordingly, all buyers in forthcoming Stack's Bowers and Ponterio Hong Kong Auctions who wish to have any Chinese manufactured item delivered within the United States will be subject to these tariffs. Furthermore, as a result of the new tariffs, all orders will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.
