Very Rare 'Giorgi' Signed Copper Cent Pattern (t) CHINA. Copper Cent Pattern, Year 5 (1916). Tientsin Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64 Red Brown Gold Shield. CL-MG.54; KM-Pn-41; CCC-680; Duan-3224. Signed by L. Giorgi. The finest of just seven graded by PCGS, this EXTREMELY RARE1916 pattern is signed by the illustrious Luigi Giorgi. Long considered a great rarity, this type is missing from most major collections, including that of Jacobs and Kann. It was produced by Giorgi at the Tientsin Mint, with his name appearing near the reverse periphery just to the right of 6. The current offering of this immensely popular pattern exhibits a razor sharp strike, gorgeous original surfaces, and an abundance of mint red in virtually every portion of the field. It is certainly worth a strong bid, as near Gem quality specimens are few and far between. Compare to a specimen previously offered in our 2014 August Hong Kong auction--merely an NGC MS-63 Brown--which realized a total of $83,650(lot 41106). Estimate: $40,000 - $50,000.

Giorgi"簽字版。 本版別僅有七枚獲PCGS評級，此為最高分，極盡稀罕的1916年樣幣，Luigi Giorgi簽名款。千金易得，一幣難求，許多著名藏家集藏中均從缺，就連Jacobs和Kann都沒能將它收入囊中。此幣由Giorgi於天津鑄幣廠生產，簽名鐫於背面幣緣"六"字旁。本拍品鑄打纖毫畢現，純原表面，悅目原廠紅光遍佈底板每個角落，近Gem級佳品，定是眾多藏家競相爭奪的對象。我司2014年8月香港拍賣曾拍出一枚NGC MS-63 Brown的同款（拍品41106），成交價$83,650美金。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
