L&M-222; K-74; KM-Y-145A.2; WS-0806. Old style dragon variety. Preserved with quality that is RARE for the type, this "Dragon" Dollar yields a silvery-gray brilliance with retained gloss throughout the flan. Slight wearing is seen on the high elements, though this is not aggressive nor destructive in anyway towards the beauty of the piece. Golden highlights add to the character of the piece, with a highlighting effect. A sharp example, and one certain to achieve many bids from specialists seeking an attractive and problem free example of the type.
Estimate: $20000 - $25000
