Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 29 (1903) AU Details (Excessive Surface Hairlines) NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.1, L&M-462, Kann-205. Variety with period after mint name. Significantly appealing for the assigned grade, with the noted hairlines concentrated primarily in the center of the obverse (reverse as holdered), likely an effort to remove traces of an ink chopmark. The piece otherwise appears strikingly original and nearly uncirculated, clear concentric machining marks visible over the obverse.
