Description

Chihli. Kuang-hsü Dollar Year 23 (1897) UNC Details (Reverse Cleaned) NGC, Pei Yang Arsenal mint, KM-Y65.1, L&M-444. Long horns and round eyes variety. The originality of this 19th century dragon Dollar selection is spectacular. Though the holder notes a cleaning on the reverse, the evidence of this is hard to find. Magnification possibly reveals some light, fine hairlines underneath the patina but any past cleaning done was minor and the retoning has been excellent. This is an issue that is incredibly hard to find with this much detail and this much character.

NOTE: This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after September 1, 2019. Under the new US tariffs on Chinese goods, collector's items from China will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff.

光緒二十三年（1897）北洋機器局造壹圓銀幣。UNC Details (Reverse Cleaned) NGC。
北洋機器局。長角龍，圓眼版。這枚十九世紀龍洋呈現出超群絕倫的原初外觀。雖然評級封盒提到背面曾遭清洗，但難以發現一絲痕跡。在放大細看後也許能在包漿下發現若干幼細的髮絲痕，但影響也微不足道。新養起的包漿更是悅目迷人。具備這般豐富細節和特色的例子實在可遇不可求。
