(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904). PCGS AU-58.
L&M-257; K-100; KM-Y-145a.14; WS-0858. Variety with "HAH" and "CH," without dots under "chia" and "chen," and with dot before "7 MACE". This brazenly lustrous piece has strong claims to a higher grade as any sign of wear is nearly impossible to spot. Still retaining impressive originality, this piece offers bright surfaces struck from aggressively polished dies. Quite likely to find an audience among collectors who prefer Mint State pieces.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
