Lot Description

Heart-Palpitating Chihli Dollar with Majestic Luster CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 24 (1898). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-63. L&M-449; K-191; KM-Y-65.2; WS-0616. Variety with solid pupils in dragon's eyes. Nearly miraculous in such a state of preservation, this charmer drips with original mint bloom and luster that cartwheels the light in a phenomenal fashion. The peripheries are nearly bursting with toning composed of cobalt blue, ruby red, and bullion gold that mediate out to a shiny silver color as the central devices are reached. One of the most handsome examples of the ever-popular type that this cataloger has ever seen, this beauty should make hearts skip a beat when it is offered for auction. Estimate: $60,000 - $80,000.
