Lot Title:	China - 1987 5oz silver vault protector
Lot Number:	146
Description:	Enjoys It Collection. Mintage: 999. The so-called "Vault Protector" attributed to a design based on a Qing dynasty original, currently has no KM listing. Traditionally, a vault protector was a charm believed to provide protection from evil or natural disasters while ensuring good fortune. For a thousand years, examples have been struck intentionally much larger than the circulating cash coins that they were intended to protect. Many of these currently reside in sterile slabs, but the prudent collector would be wise to consider this remarkable blonde-grey example as it comes in the original presentation box.
Estimate:	$700-$900

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.
