CHINA. Dollar, ND (1916). Tientsin Mint. Hung-hsien (Hongxian [Yuan Shih-kai]). PCGS MS-64.
L&M-942; K-663; KM-Y-332; WS-0097. Variety with reeded edge and no signature. With a brief departure from the Republic, Yuan Shih-kai styled himself as the Hung-hsien Emperor and created the rather short Empire of China, with this "Flying Dragon" Dollar being a signature commemorative. Nearly entirely blast white and supremely dazzling, this near-Gem radiates with frosty brilliance and stands as a VERY RARE piece in this elevated state of preservation.
Ex: Ponterio 133 (1/2005) Lot # 2040.
Estimate: $70000 - $100000
