(t) CHINA. Dollar, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. NGC Unc Details--Scratches.
L&M-37; K-227; KM-Y-31; WS-0046b. Variety with no dot after "DOLLAR" and extra flame. This nicely preserved example boasts a strong strike with well-formed design elements and plenty of remaining luster. Close inspection reveals a couple of short light scratches accounting for the detail's designation, now subdued by the rich mottled patination. Despite its shortcoming a handsome survivor of this prolific type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
