(t) CHINA. Dollar, 1916. Tientsin Mint. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
L&M-942; K-663; KM-Y-332; WS-0097. Variety with reeded edge, no signature, and horizontal on dragon's right wing visible. Struck to commemorate the inauguration of Yuan Shih-kai as the Hung Hsien Emperor. A blend of bronze, olive, and steel blue iridescence dominates the fields on this exceptionally appealing commemorative issue. Boldly struck with only a hint of wear on the highest points, the offering affords generous eye appeal for the grade at a somewhat more affordable price point. A touch of glossiness on the devices accounts for the PCGS designation, though the surfaces are more attractive than most details examples the cataloger has encountered. Undeniably, this piece will generate ample interest due both to its scarcity and elegant appearance.
Estimate: $9000 - $12000
