(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details.
L&M-222; K-74; KM-Y-145a.2; WS-0806. Old style dragon variety. Providing attractive and desirable details, the present example displays a regal nature that has limited evidence of wear. The surfaces remain attractive and slightly lustrous. This coin does have its share of problems, tooling which is most visible on the character side, along with a chopmark, and surface hairlines from cleaning. Despite these imperfections, a chance at a good example, certain to be available at a far lesser price point as a result of the problems.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
