Lot Description

Nicely Lustrous and Softly Toned Pei Yang Dollar CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 25 (1899). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC AU-55. L&M-454; K-196; KM-Y-73; WS-0624. This early "Dragon Dollar" exhibits an impressive strike and tantalizing state of preservation. Free from any problems, this coin's surfaces feature a generous underlying luster beneath its light mottled gray tone. Held under direct light, a subtle honey-tinted glow becomes apparent. The crisp strike remains beautifully intact, with only hints of light wear upon the high points. As a wholesome example of this popular and challenging type, this lot is certain to capture the attention of many collectors. Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000.
