拍品描述： 湖北省造光绪元宝七钱二分银币。 经手柔和，灯光下可见车轮光及浅虹彩金色光泽流转。爽化图文，龙身高处可见轻微典型弱打。反面"湖"侧有不规则的圆形模裂一直向外延伸，止于"七"。品相漂亮迷人，定能引起专家关注。 (t)

CHINA. Hupeh. 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), ND (1895-1907). NGC MS-62. L&M-182; K-40; KM-Y-127.1; WS-0873. This gently handled example displays a pale iridescent golden sheen that shifts with the cartwheel luster when rotated in the light. The devices are frosty with a bit of the typical strike weakness on the highest points of the dragons body. The reverse offers an interesting diagnostic, an irregular circular die crack just past "湖" in the legend that continues along the outside, finally terminating at "七". This handsome survivor is very attractive and pleasing to the eye and is sure to catch the attention of the specialist.
