Lot Description

(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin (Central) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-53. L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. A gently circulated Dollar, this emission of Chihli delivers superb eye appeal for the grade. The details are generally quite sharp, with circulation being limited to the highest elements of the design. Beautiful toning decorates the flan, with various colors showing through, magenta and blue being most forceful. Handsome luster remains, and the light friction on the reverse does little to dimmish the attractivity. A wonderful specimen that delivers a premium for the grade offering. Estimate: $1,800 - $2,400.
