(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin (Central) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Planchet Flaw, VF Details.
L&M-466; K-210; KM-Y-73.4; WS-0640. Variety with crosslet "4" and curly "3". This SCARCE variety provides wonderful details and just a light pattern of wear on the surface. A rather large and noticeable planchet flaw emanates from the mouth of the dragon, as fire itself would. A good example that would make a solid hole filler for the variety collector and one in search of an original striking of this date.
Estimate: $600 - $900
