Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1903 MS62 NGC, Nanking mint, KM-Y145a.10, L&M-251, variety with "HAH" and rosette in outer ring. While not 100% fully struck, the strike is nice, and well-above-average for this variety. Full mint brilliance, with light golden patina further benefits the appearance. Only a few tiny marks are noted and this example has a much nicer appearance than one might expect of the grade. Only two pieces have been certified finer (both MS63) by NGC and PCGS combined. The finest example of this rare type we have seen.
