Lot Description

Wholly Enthralling Imperial "Flying Dragon" Dollar CHINA. Dollar, ND (1916). Tientsin Mint. Hung-hsien (Hongxian [Yuan Shih-kai]). PCGS MS-64+. L&M-942; K-663; KM-Y-332; WS-0097. Variety with reeded edge and no signature. It is rather difficult for words to capture the immense beauty brought forth by this majestic near-Gem, which undoubtedly flirts with an even higher designation as its plus would indicate. The toning atop the steely gray surfaces takes a sublime golden-olive hue and is generously sprinkled throughout, all with an alluring brilliance and razor sharp strike catch the gaze of the viewer that much more. A tremendous opportunity for the connoisseur of numismatic art. Estimate: $100,000 - $200,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
