Lot Description

Well Struck Mint State Fengtien Dollar CHINA. Fengtien. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1903). Fengtien Arsenal Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-61. L&M-482; K-251; KM-Y-92.1; WS-0597. Variety with the correct Manchu script. An impressive specimen that is quite unusual for the type in its state of preservation, this incredible Dollar delivers a rich strike and strong details with no evidence of circulation. Some evidence of handling is present, though this mostly obscured by the toning that tops the surfaces. Some light orange-gold toning is also present, highlighting the devices. Elusive in any state of Uncirculated grade, we expect the many specialists in "Dragon Dollars" to compete for this example. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000. Provenance: Ex: J.C. Lee Collection.
