Yunnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar ND (1908) AU53 NGC, Kunming mint, KM-Y254, L&M-418, Kann-166, Chang-CH148, WS-0659 (1907), Wenchao-831 (rarity 1 star; 1907). Flashy and comparatively lofty in grade, especially given that this type is relatively prolific in the VF to XF range, while many AU's have suffered from post-mint damage. Gently rubbed across the highpoints, this piece contains admirable detail and ample surface brilliance, toning generally absent from the surfaces while few marks aside from scattered wisps in the fields are detectable. From the Glorium Collection
