(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1905)-SY. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62+.
L&M-262; K-106; KM-Y-145A.17; WS-0862. Variety with inverted "SY". Presenting an astounding array of dazzling luster and breathtaking Mint State splendor, this tantalizing crown seemingly glistens from each and every angle at which it is viewed. A mostly argent nature is broken only by the enchanting appearance of some golden champagne toning nearest the peripheries. Meanwhile, the strike is rather clear and well executed--a feat for this mint, often plagued by weakness at the outer portions. A view of the PCGS census reveals that just six examples have been graded finer than this wondrous specimen--an aspect that no doubt reveals its elite status as a conditional RARITY.
