(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). PCGS Genuine--Spot Removed, Unc Details.
L&M-471; K-244; KM-Y-87; WS-0583. Narrow Mouth Dragon variety. This nicely preserved example boasts a strong strike with crisp design features displaying light attractive mottled patina. Minor earthen deposits amongst the devices adds to it originality and pleasing appearance. Close inspection reveals evidence that parts of the open areas of the obverse have been wiped and a well-placed hidden scuff from long age, now toned over. Otherwise we are unable to locate signs of a spot being removed. Despite its shortcomings this very attractive example offers a pleasing and original appearance.
Estimate: $6000 - $9000
