    An Error Coin You May Not Know Exists - Episode 14

    As you probably know the Chinese Dragon Silver Dollars minted as Trade Dollars in the thirties bore English text from about 10:30 to 2:30 as evidenced by this (year 33) 1908 Silver Dragon Dollar struck at the Chihli Province Mint (Coin Archives photo):

    As mistakes go, however, this (year 34) 1907 Dragon Silver Dollar, also produced at the mint in Chihli Province, has some of the English text missing. See for yourself (Coin Archives photo)
