Hsüan-t'ung silver Pattern Dollar ND (1910) MS65 NGC, Tientsin mint, Kann-219, L&M-24, WS-0036, Wenchao-98 (rarity 2 stars). An absolutely inspiring selection, presenting this magical late Imperial Pattern "Dragon" Dollar in nearly unmatched beauty. The surfaces are flooded with glossy luster that has toned to a light pearlescent aesthetic that is gorgeous to behold in-hand. The Gem designation rings true as no chatter or abrasions rise to distract the viewer from the stunning portrayal of China's most legendary creature brought to life on this piece with immense artistry. Though not a "Top Pop" specimen in Gem, this is the highest graded piece to ever cross Heritage's auction block. A true trophy coin that will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of this sale.
