- Stunning and Near-Mint Auto Dollar from Kweichow CHINA. Kweichow. Auto Dollar (7 Mace 2 Candareens), Year 17 (1928). NGC AU-55. L&M-609; K-757; KM-Y-428; WS-1109. Variety with two grass blades. A coin that has a fame renowned, this Auto Dollar commands all attention and stands as a spectacular example of the type, set apart from nearly every other example. Soft pastel toning adheres to the surfaces still rich with a mint glossiness. Very little technical wear is seen, with the normal strike weakness seen on the door of the car. Slightly contacted in the fields, the surfaces are largely free of ugly scaring or strafing. A piece that combines lofty beauty with a tremendous pedigree, we envision no shortage of willing bidders seeking to own this Auto for their personal fleet of coins. This always popular type was struck to commemorate the completion of Kweichow Provincial Highway which, according to Kann, was the first motor car road in the province. Allegedly featuring the personal vehicle of Governor Chow Hsi-chien (Zhou Xicheng), this piece has passed into numismatic lore on account of the unique design. Estimate: $100,000 - $125,000. Provenance: From the Kenneth Bressett Collection Ex: Newton/Bressett Collection. Click here for certification details from NGC. Additional image by NGC Photo Vision.
