(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin (Central) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62.
L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. Glimmering with the soft glow of original mint luster, and dabbled with the occasional flash of color, this Mint State example displays wholesome originality that appeals directly to the eyes. The strike is complete, and the surfaces escape ugly pockmarking or hits that are sometimes seen on the type. A gleaming example that invites many competitive bids from collectors of Dragon Dollars.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
