(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH CH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-63.
L&M-257A; K-99; KM-Y-145A.12; WS-0858. Variety without dots under "chia" and "chen" and with dragon with fewer spines. Exceptionally Choice and highly attractive, this "dragon Dollar" provides stunning eye appeal through its hints of pastel toning and bold central strike. Meanwhile, a light gray backdrop and alluring luster delivers even more character and flair to the viewer. For completeness, some peripheral striking weakness is noted upon the dragon side, though this aspect is most easily overlooked, as it is an issue extremely common to the emission.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
