CHINA. Long Whisker Dragon Pattern Dollar, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. NGC MS-63+.
L&M-28; K-223; KM-Pn304; WS-0040; Wenchao-105 (rarity three stars). Struck in silver. RARE first variation of the "dragon in clouds" style with smaller more robust characters and blunt floral leaves. This type is referred to as the "ordinary obverse" as the characters resemble that of the later adopted standard design 1911 Empire Dollar. Sharply struck with attractive tone and excellent eye appeal. A wonderful example that is destined for a world class collection. NGC MS-63+.
Estimate: $100000.00- $150000.00
