Lot description:
(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-50.
L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.4; WS-0647. Variety with fancy "3". An interesting variant from the mint's final output of coinage in the name of the emperor, this example sports a highly pleasing and engaging gunmetal gray tone along with very little evidence of time spent in circulation. Of that time in commerce, it happily remains free from issue.
Estimate: $1500 - $2000 | |
