Flashy and Vibrant "Dragon Dollar" with Fewer Spines
(t) CHINA. Kiangnan. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), CD (1904)-HAH TH. Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). NGC MS-62.
L&M-256; K-102; KM-Y-145A.16; WS-0855. Variety with dragon with fewer spines. Presenting a rich vibrance to the glistening luster, this sharply struck and expertly-preserved specimen stands as a wondrous representative of the type. Offering a mix of almond and steely gray along with some subtle darker hues sprinkled elegantly throughout, this example features a level of resounding quality that would be difficult to exceed. Rather accordingly, NGC has graded just two finer.
