CHINA. Anhwei. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898)-ASTC. Anking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-63.
L&M-199; K-57; KM-Y-45.3; WS-1076. Variety with tall "si". Coinage from Anwhei is SCARCE in any condition, and that paucity is amplified when preserved this nicely. Showing essentially none of the strike weakness that is common for the type, this Dragon Dollar appeals with a charm nearly unmatched. Radiant underlying luster hides beneath the toning of varied spectral color and intensity. When cradled back and forth in hand this specimen enlivens with deep red, golden, and blue toning. Very few strafes or striations break the surface gloss, furthering the appeal. A true RARTITY in this grade, we expect much embattled competition to be the winning bidder on this regal Dollar.
Estimate: $75000 - $125000
