(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". Unlike many details coins with severe problems that detract from the eye appeal, this example has no such issue, with razor sharp details and lovely lustrous surfaces. The questionable color designation likely arises from a little too much blue within the peripheral toning, though this is hardly unsightly. A strong example of the type despite the designation by PCGS.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
