Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) MS63 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y31, L&M-37. No Period - Extra Flame variety. A tremendously satisfying example of this sought-after type, boasting truly superior eye appeal for its level of certification, with the only handling present seemingly insignificant to the viewer's enjoyment. The luster is sharp and vibrant, enhanced by a honeyed patina that intensifies toward the peripheries, never enough to obscure the radiance of the original surfaces underneath.
