L&M-454; K-196; KM-Y-73; WS-0624. A beautiful and nearly Uncirculated specimen, this wholesome piece delivers a strong strike and rich appeal throughout the flan. A KEY DATE in the series, this impressive specimen has limited actual circulation and much retained charm throughout. The brilliance is nearly all-embracing, with just a touch of friction on the characters' side. Given the immense beauty and appeal of this example, we would expect many excited bids to spring forth for this specimen.

From the C.H. Fung Collection.

Estimate: $6000 - $9000
