IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
VIETNAM (NORTH VIET NAM): 5 hao, 1936, KM-2,2, Lec-3, value raised in star, a wonderful lustrous example! PCGS graded MS64. The 5 Hao type with value in relief were minted in Shanghai by the Chinese Communists for the Viet Minh in the mid to late 1950s and they were used by the Vietnamese Communists as presentation coins; they retained the date 1946. Not all of them might have been shipped to Viet Nam. It is very possible the excess were found at the mint and are being disposed of onto the numismatic marketplace as this type is nearly always found in uncirculated quality, while the value incuse type is rarely found in high quality and was likely struck locally in Vietnam for circulation.
