Anhwei. Kuang-hsü Dragon Dollar ND (1898) AU55 NGC, KM-Y45.4, L&M-207. An outstanding near-Mint example. Virtually full original mint luster graces both obverse and reverse, with the superb eye-appeal enhanced by attractive peripheral toning in blue, russet, and orange iridescence. Only the slightest hints of rubbing on the high points keeps this exceptional piece from the Mint State category. Rare this nice.
