China
Yunnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar ND (1908) AU58 PCGS, Kunming mint, KM-Y254, L&M-418, Kann-166. An extremely popular type when found anywhere in problem-free borderline uncirculated condition, let alone the choicest tier of them all. The exaggerated block-style lettering and folky dragon make this a very charming example of the famous Chinese dragon Dollar. Wholesome pearly patination drape this beauty in old-time originality that is not always easy to find. A touch of rub and some scattered light abrasions may define the grade-point but so does this selection's superb lustrous glow.
