(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 33 (1907). PCGS AU-50.
L&M-464; K-207a; KM-Y-73.2; WS-0636. Lightly handled surfaces showcase much of the original detail, which remains intact enough to examine all intricacies of the dragon's head and scales. Accents of charcoal patina can be seen on the character side along with some original, protected luster. While the majority of survivors have lost originality and bear a details designation, the present coin is one of the few that has not been abused by former generations who valued coins differently from our own.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
