(t) CHINA. Dollar, Year 3 (1911). Tientsin Mint. Hsuan-t'ung (Xuantong [Puyi]). PCGS MS-63.
L&M-37; K-227; KM-Y-31; WS-0046b. Variety without dot after "DOLLAR". Quite stunning and dazzling, this largely untoned Dollar from late in the Qing dynasty presents flashy brilliance and a great cartwheel nature to the luster. Meanwhile, the strike is rather robust and enticing, with the open fields of the characters side remaining free from issue. Further its sense of character, a hint of almond-olive toning is scattered about, offsetting the free-flowing nature of the silver.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
