Variety with dot at the end of the dragon's tail. A minor which can truthfully be summed up as pure eye-candy, the pearly brilliance of the surfaces tinged by a hint of peach and iridescent tone. Certainly among the upper tier of certified examples, with only 5 between 1 to 2 points finer across NGC and PCGS, and the ideal type coin for its future owner. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/empire/china-...18 Dec 20206,500 USD China Kuang-hsü silver Pattern Tael CD 1906 MS64 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Pn300, L&M-16, Kann-934, WS-0021, Wenchao-85 (rarity 4 stars), Chang Foundation-30. Original striking. An incredible pattern specimen which characterizes the difficulties faced by China's "modernizing" program of the late 19th and early 20th century, these beautiful Taels were intended to replace the existing Mace-Candareens coinage in circulation with a new standard, divided between the Tael, 5 Mace, 2 Mace, and Mace.

Simply enthralling, and perhaps one of the most attractive dragon designs produced during Hsüan-t'ung's brief reign, this incredible pattern dollar is certainly set to stun. One of four denominations produced by the central mint in this year in compliance with the currency regulations promulgated by the Board of Revenue, though the 1/2 Dollar w...18 Dec 202090,000 USD China Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) MS64 NGC, Tientsin mint, KM-Y31, L&M-37, Kann-227. No period, extra flame variety. Blessed with abundant silky luster that careens freely over the surfaces upon rotation, this appealing dragon dollar exhibits a superb eye-appeal that even seems outsized for the assigned grade, only minor and isolated contact marks exhibited over otherwise clear and sleek surfaces. A hint of tone on the obverse develops into a lovely amber and iridescent blue reverse patin...18 Dec 202026,000 USD China Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) XF45 PCGS, KM-Y31, L&M-37. No period, extra flame variety. Dressed in a veil of silver tone, graphite accents held within the scales of the dragon and the minute crevices of the devices to accentuating effect. An appealing, moderately circulated representative. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/china-hsuan-t-ung-dollar-year-3-1911-xf45-pcgs-/a/3087-30102.s?type=CoinArchives3087 HID02906262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Estimate: 1000...18 Dec 20202,600 USD China Chihli.

Quite simply an astonishing specimen, preserved at a level far above its peers, with just 10 other specimens ranking at this peak level across NGC and PCGS combined out of well over 10,000 certified. From a visual standpoint, the surfaces are virtually immaculate, just a few scattered traces of die rust visible above the dragon's head, a tin...18 Dec 202028,000 USD China Chihli. Kuang-hsü Mint Error - Obverse Lamination Dollar Year 34 (1908) MS63 NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.2, L&M-465. Satiny and lustrous, with sharp central features that draw the eye for closer examination. The cause of the noted mint error is a single patch of incompleteness that traverses the rightmost section of the dragon's tail, the first such minting issue we have seen for the type. A highly attractive coin whose distinction as an error coin only heightens its interest to s...18 Dec 20203,800 USD China Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar 34 (1908) AU53 PCGS, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.2, L&M-465. A modestly circulated example exhibiting a formidable display of the central dragon motif, still-sharp and outlined in subtle graphite tone. Satiny and minimally disturbed luster emanates from the center, confirming a state bordering relatively closely to uncirculated preservation. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/chihli-province/china-chihli-kuang-hsu-dollar-34-1908-au53-pcgs-/a/3087-30114.s?type=Coin...18 Dec 20201,200 USD China Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 34 (1908) AU Details (Edge Corrosion) NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y73.2, L&M-465. Long central spine on tail variety. A highly attractive selection of this very popular dragon dollar type, a great deal of detail preserved throughout the design while ample luster continues to grace both sides. The noted edge corrosion is located on the rim around 12 o'clock. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/chihli-province/china-chihli-kuang-hsu-dollar-year-34-1908-au-deta...18 Dec 2020550 USD China Chihli.

An admirable selection of the scarcer Crosslet 4 variety, which shows relatively minor wear for the assigned grade, a bold central dragon, and remnants of luster amidst scattered light russet tone. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/chihli-province/china-chihli-kuang-hsu-dollar-year-34-1908-xf40-pcgs-/a/3087-30117.s?type=CoinArchives3087 HID02906262019 © 2020 ...18 Dec 20205,250 USD China Hunan. Republic Fantasy Dollar Year 1 (1916)-Dated MS62 NGC, KM-X1395, Kann-Unl., WS-1349-20. An enticing issue, and currently the second finest representative of this fantasy certified by NGC, clearly copying the iconic dragon design used on Hsüan-t'ung's coinage of 1911 (likely the reason for the misattributed date on the holder). Both sides feature a mottled iridescence framing the central features, bolstering the overall eye appeal and confirming the piece's desirability. https://c...18 Dec 202012,500 USD China Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1902 AU53 PCGS, KM-Y145a.8, L&M-247, Kann-93. Well-maintained for the type and displaying only a small degree of rub to the dragon's scales and finer features for the grade designation, the planchet dressed in a soft steel patina that contributes a further sense of quality and charm to the piece. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kiangnan/china-kiangnan-kuang-hsu-dollar-cd-1902-au53-pcgs-/a/3087-30133.s?type=CoinArchives3087 HID02906262019 © 2020 Heritage A...18 Dec 20205,500 USD China Kiangnan.

Attractive and lustrous despite light corrosion removal that has left a finely speckled texturing in the fields, with central dragon design bold and showing fine detail in the intricate scales. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kiangnan/china-kiangnan-kuang-hsu-dollar-cd-1904-unc-details-corrosion-removed-p...18 Dec 20201,050 USD China Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1904 UNC Details (Cleaned) PCGS, KM-Y145a.12, L&M-257. Variety with HAH CH initials on obverse (reverse as holdered) and fewer spines on dragon. A frosty, if lightly cleaned, representative of this better type, with most evidence of the noted cleaning confined to the reverse (obverse as holdered), and even this doing relatively little to diminish the coin's overall eye appeal. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kiangnan/china-kiangnan-kuang-hsu-dollar-cd-1904-...18 Dec 20201,000 USD China Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1904 AU53 PCGS, KM-Y145a.12, L&M-257. Variety with HAH CH initials on obverse (reverse as holdered) and fewer spines on dragon. Lustrous with only mild friction across the devices and light chatter in the fields to indicate circulation. Charcoal tone outlines the larger characters, providing an emboldening visual contrast. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kiangnan/china-kiangnan-kuang-hsu-dollar-cd-1904-au53-pcgs-/a/3087-30136.s?type=CoinArchives3087 HID029...18 Dec 20201,300 USD China Kiangnan. Kuang-hsü Dollar CD 1905 XF40 PCGS, KM-Y145a.17, L&M-262. Inverted SY initials in legend on reverse. Emboldening charcoal tone frames the prominent central dragon and larger characters, while a steel patina with light olive undertones confirms the age of the specimen. A popular type sought by collectors in virtually all states of preservation. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kiangnan/china-kiangnan-kuang-hsu-dollar-cd-1905-xf40-pcgs-/a/3087-30137.s?type=CoinArchives3087 HID02...18 Dec 20209,250 USD China Kwangtung. Kuang-hsü Dollar ND (1890-1908) MS63 NGC, Kwangtung mint, KM-Y203, L&M-133, Kann-26. Struck from Heaton dies. A lofty state for this "new" dragon design that emerged out of the public outcry against the juxtaposition of English and Chinese text on the earlier 1889 issues, and a level that can safely be confirmed as towards the upper range of 'attainable' quality, the population report at NGC recorded a bottleneck of examples ranking much finer. While showcasing a heavy cartwhe...18 Dec 2020Unsold  China Kwangtung. Kuang-hsü Fantasy Tael ND (1904) UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM-X Unl. (cf. KM-X15 for 1/2 Tael), Kann-F932, WS-Unl. (cf. WS-1349-21 for 1/2 Tael), cf. Wenchao-572 (for original type), SHI-19. By all indications a very rare issue, missing from much of the standard literature, though the existence of the same design in 1/2 Tael weight is well known (cf. Kann-B35). Portraying the Chinese symbol for longevity flanked by double dragons, the design is particularly appealing. For ref...18 Dec 202028,000 USD China Kwangtung. Hsüan-t'ung Dollar ND (1909-1911) MS62 NGC, KM-Y206, L&M-138. A laudable type representative exhibiting a clear strike, coupled with ample frost within the dragon motif and fields absolutely laden with argent luster. Though a few isolated and fairly trivial marks may be seen, the eye appeal is arguably quite good for the assigned grade, which normally would accompany notably heavier-handed treatment. https://coins.ha.com/itm/china/kwangtung-province/china-kwangtung-hsuan-t-u...18 Dec 20206,000 USD China Manchurian Provinces.

One of the more elusive general circulation dragon dollar issues, produced for the confederation of provinces comprising Fengtien, Heilungkiang, and Kirin.
