Hello, the manchu script on the Y31 (and other coins from the same era) simply translates to “Silver coin of the Great Qing”.

I’m trying to find info about the inscriptions on the top of the reverse of the Y31 coin and I can’t find any information on it. Does it translate to anything or is it a design feature?

Hello Andy, I’m glad my article was useful to you. You are absolutely right about the extra flame location: it is on the rightmost side of the tail, and sometimes indeed barely visible! The PCGS “(1911) $1 LM-37″ type is also called “extra flame” (or 深版), while the “(1911) $1 LM-37 w/o Dot & Flame” is the 浅版 presented above (no extra flame, repaired R in DOLLAR). None of these two versions have the extra dot after dollar, which is only observed on the much rarer Y31.1 type. Hope this helps!

very interesting article. I wonder if the ‘extra flame’ on the coin means there is an extra pinky flame on the rightmost side of the tail? it took me a while to realize it.

Also, on pcgs I notice there are (1911) $1 LM-37 and (1911) $1 LM-37 w/o Dot & Flame. Are they the same thing or slightly different from each other?

Dear Dragon Dollar
I have a dragon coin but it not a silver. It’s looking like copper coin. It’s real or fake. If real, how do I want to sell it.
