CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH CH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC AU-55.
L&M-258; K-101; KM-Y-145a.13; WS-0857. Variety with dots under "chia" and "chen" and with dot after "CANDAREENS". Retaining a cartwheel nature to the brilliance on the dragon side and freshly-struck sheen to that of the characters side, this barely handled example undoubtedly stands as one of the more alluring and wholesome examples among those that fall just short of Mint State status.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
