(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 29 (1903). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-462; K-205; KM-Y-73.1; WS-0632. Variety with period after "YANG". Fully shimmering and glistening, this nearly-choice "Dragon Dollar," struck just a few years after the Boxer Rebellion, offers intense lustrous brilliance and a great argent nature. The strike is rather sharp and the eye appeal is quite enticing, though some scattered darker spots on each side are noted for completeness. Nevertheless, a type that is SCARCELY encountered so elite.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
