China
Hupeh. Kuang-hsü Dollar ND (1895-1907) AU55 NGC, Wuchang mint, KM-Y127.1, L&M-182, Kann-40a. Broken English letters in legend variety. A highly respectable example of the type, gleaming with a surprising amount of residual mint brilliance for the assigned grade, punctuating attractive and original battleship-gray surfaces. Limited only by trivial friction to the highpoints of the dragon's face and spine, we anticipate elevated interest in this former ANS specimen, nonetheless.
Ex. ANS Museum Duplicate (Acquisition Date 1918)
