Kirin. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1908 AU50 NGC, KM-Y183, L&M-572. Flower Basket variety. Quite scarce approaching Mint State, or in any grade, this example pushes the limit for what the major grading services have encountered with respect to quality of preservation, the single-highest certified specimen currently grading MS60 at NGC. Lightly struck in isolated areas, with the majority of the design rendered to a commendable depth, a fact that has allowed an accenting slate gray tone to settle among the central design to an enhancing visual effect.
