Sublime Near-Gem Chihli Dollar
(t) CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 34 (1908). Tientsin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64+.
L&M-465; K-208; KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. Not easily encountered in states of preservation this elite and breathtaking, the present specimen provides immense eye appeal and flair across both sides, with its near-Gem designation clearly evident. A great deal of abounding luster catches the gaze of the viewer seemingly from every angle, and the burnished almond-gray tone is quite tantalizing and divine. A single print from ages ago can be seen in the central area of the characters side, but this merely adds that much more character to this monumental example.
