CHINA. Kwangtung. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1890-1908). Kwangtung Mint (struck from Heaton Mint dies). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-64+.
L&M-133B; K-26; KM-Y-203; WS-0941. Variety with small rosettes. Alluring to the point of hypnosis, this magnetically appealing near-Gem offers a bold strike and vivid luster that contrasts against the iridescent and opalescent toning that hugs the peripheries. The surfaces avoid excess chattering and marking, with just a few pockmarks on the reverse. Exceedingly RARE in this level of preservation, one would be hard pressed to find another example that matches this one's beauty and charm. This desirability is only elevated by the usage of Heaton Mint dies, making this stunner a piece that can seldom afford to be missed.
Estimate: $20000 - $40000
