1897年奉天省造七錢二分鋁制樣幣簡介及HA成交價

一、    海瑞得拍賣行HERITAGE (HA)2015年1211日香港拍賣LOT #29041 (1897年)奉天省造七錢二分鋁制樣幣PCGS SP61 -28761394 珍罕，目錄未見記載，壓印極佳，原光。此幣模版的起源帶有神秘色彩，普遍認為模具產於德國並在20世紀初製造。製造的原因未名，此類型從未被採用。隨著時間的推移，它的存在逐漸被遺忘，直到1977年3月Jess Peters 拍賣會重現。自此以後，極少這類型的鋁幣（和一些黃銅製的幣）已經出現。以其極罕見度，必定激起樣幣藏家的爭奪，英文字母"FENG-TIEN" 錯誤拼寫成"TENG-TIEN"，更增加了它的魅力。雖然這錯誤在當年肯定失去發行這幣的機會，但現在對於資深大清幣的收藏家而言，此幣的出現，絕對會帶來驚喜。因為其外觀和不尋常的鋁成分，這些特點，無疑將提升其收藏的趣味。Estimate: $75,000 - $100,000. 《$89625》

二、    Description ：Exceedingly Rare Fengtien (Teng-Tien) Aluminum Dollar Pattern~Fengtien. Kuang Hsu aluminum Specimen Pattern Dollar CD (1897) SP61 PCGS, L&M-467 var. (unlisted in aluminum), K-Unlisted. While the origins of this pattern dollar remain somewhat a mystery, it is generally accepted that the dies were produced in Germany and it was struck in first several years of the 20th century. For reasons uncertain, the type was never adopted, and as time passed, its existence was forgotten until it finally reappeared to the numismatic community in a March 1977 Jess Peters auction. Since that time, a few others of this type in aluminum (and a couple in brass) have surfaced. While its extreme rarity is certain to excite the collectors of pattern dollars, the misspelling of FENG-TIEN as TENG-TIEN, perhaps adds even more to its charm. While this unfortunate mistake would have certainly lost a company its bid to produce dies for the local Mukden mint, for the most serious collector of Fengtien issues or Empire dollars in general, it has produced a type that will stand the test of time as a must-have conversation piece. This example, with it sharp design features, even appearance and unusual aluminum composition, will undoubtedly enhance any collection it enters. Good luck to all bidders!
