Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 34 (1908) MS66 NGC, Peiyang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.2, L&M-465. Simply divine in this astonishing grade, the offering at hand would be difficult to improve upon. Every central detail is sharply rendered, while the satiny luster in the fields flows unimpeded across the surfaces in such a way as to create an intense visual depth. A delicate silver patina, the final touch of visual perfection, rounds out the appearance and conveys an impression of full originality. Tied for finest graded at NGC and with none finer at PCGS, it is perhaps unlikely that most collectors will ever be able to find an example superior to this.
