(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin (Central) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-64.
L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. Presenting tremendous quality and allure that is rather RARE for the type, this incredibly vibrant and deeply toned near-Gem offers a palette composed of smoky gray, violet, and burgundy, all while a cartwheel luster radiates from beneath when cradled back and forth in one's hand. The heights to which this absolute stunner could reach are barely imaginable, but the level of competition should undoubtedly be intense.
Estimate: $15000 - $30000
