(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Graffiti, EF Details.
L&M-222; K-74; KM-Y-145a.2; WS-0806. Old Style Dragon variety. This handsome example presents wonderful details and a charming lack of wear on the devices. The dragon side holds some charcoal black deposits, though the reverse deepens to an entirely sooty color. It's the depth of this color that appears to account for the "details" designation that PCGS has given.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
