(t) CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1903). Fengtien Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64.
L&M-483; K-251B; KM-Y-92.1; WS-0598. Variety with Manchu script reversed. Tied with just one other example for the top spot in the PCGS census, the "reversed Manchu" variant presents absolutely remarkable quality and preservation. Falling just short of Gem status, it glistens with a tremendously frosty argent nature that essentially lacks any evidence of toning. Meanwhile, cartwheeling brilliance is easily observed upon each side, with a particularly strong strike noted as well. EXTREMELY RARE condition and appeal for a very popular and more difficult mint. As such, an example that should have broad, impressive interest from a number of connoisseurs. To view all items from the KL Collection, click here.
