French Colonies - French Indochina - (1943-1944) teal LM-433, Lec-324, PCGS UNC details/streak removed

Lot Title:	French Colonies - French Indochina - (1943-1944) teal LM-433, Lec-324, PCGS UNC details/streak removed
Lot Number:	118
Description:	Andrew Lucre Collection. X#2, formerly KM#A2a. The Yunnan tael was also formerly listed under China but now gets more properly attributed to the French Indochina bullion issues of the mid-war (1943-44) era. Here is a fully lustrous example that appears at first glance to qualify for MS-62 (by American nomenclature), but PCGS calls attention to some darker splashes that were lightly tooled out by some enterprising individual. Still, these are highly elusive with UNC details and one can well expect aggressive bidding.
Estimate:	$650-$800

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
