| Lot description: CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64. L&M-465C; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0644. Frozen date issue with plain & small 4; small 3. Sporting a wholly entrancing and wondrous level of elegant toning, this near-Gem emanates from the subset of frozen date issues featuring a smaller "34" than those generally observed. The fields remain clear of issue and serve as an excellent backdrop for cartwheeling luster. Meanwhile, a burnished almond toning subtly intensifies as one moves outward from the central areas, increasing dramatically right near the rims. Of further note, the dragon side in particular is boldly and impressively struck, with tremendous detail observed throughout the body of the mythical creature.
