(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1898). PCGS Genuine--Repaired, EF Details.
L&M-217; K-71; KM-Y-145a.2; WS-0797. Variety with dragon's eyes in relief. Decently preserved and attractive, this wholesome looking survivor exhibits a bold strike displaying light gray tone with richer coloration near the edges. Close inspection reveals evidence of a harsh cleaning, now slightly subdued adding a bit of charm to the piece. The PCGS insert indicates that this piece has been repaired, but other than the noted harsh cleaning this cataloger is unable to specify where the said repair occurred. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of the type great for the collector on a budget.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
