Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) MS64 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y31, L&M-37, Kann-227. No period, extra flame variety. Blessed with abundant silky luster that careens freely over the surfaces upon rotation, this appealing dragon dollar exhibits a superb eye-appeal that even seems outsized for the assigned grade, only minor and isolated contact marks exhibited over otherwise clear and sleek surfaces. A hint of tone on the obverse develops into a lovely amber and iridescent blue reverse patina, further accentuating the quality of this wholly impressive offering.
