(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH CH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Questionable Color, Unc Details.
L&M-257; K-99; KM-Y-145a.12; WS-0858. Variety without dots under "chia" and "chen". This sunny example provides exceptionally clear and well applied details. The surfaces are bright, lustrous, and fully attractive, with a thin coating of rainbow toning that rings the dragon side peripheries before intensifying on the reverse. The evidence of cleaning is rather marginal, and can only really be seen in one small patch on the characters side. A lovely specimen despite the cleaning.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
