Your coin is not the same coin in the link referenced by gxseries. That is a somewhat scarcer coin missing the characters at the bottom on the reverse, hence the Kann reference number 676a. Yours is the "normal" type k-676. gxseries is correct: the Chinese rare coin market is very hot right now. Pavillion dollars are fairly scarce in mint state, less so in circulated condition such as yours; however even an XF is worth today around $5000 IF it's slabbed by a reputable service as yours is. who knows when this market will cool. I would sell it through a reputable auction house such as Heritage, StacksBowers, or Goldberg as soon as I could. I would NOT sell such an expensive coin on
ebay. The major houses know how to market your coin to Chinese buyers. I've just put mine, purchased 20 years ago, in the StacksBowers Hong Kong sale in August. Mine's in an NGC MS63 slab. The following pictures show it in the previous PCGS slab. I had it reslabbed by NGC.
