(t) CHINA. Manchurian Provinces. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 33 (1907). Fengtien Arsenal Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS EF-40.
L&M-487; K-255; KM-Y-212; WS-0546. Variety with shallow-scaled dragon. Amongst the RAREST of provincial "Dragon" Dollars, this wholesome and problem free example delivers a tremendous specimen. The strike is comprehensive, impressing nearly complete design elements on the planchet. Though circulated, the wear is not too destructive of design elements, and much of the fully struck detail is retained on the flan. Some limited brilliance remains on the wholly steely gray surfaces, adding a touch of charm to the piece. A tremendous example, and one certain to inspire much impassioned bidding.
Estimate: $20000 - $40000
