Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) MS64 NGC, KM-Y31, L&M-37. No period, extra flame variety. An appealing near-Gem example. The fully lustrous surfaces are bathed in light golden patina, with minor touches of darker russet color. The strike is bold and the fully original surfaces exhibit only a few very minor marks. Superb eye-appeal. Only one piece has been certified finer.
