China 1907, mint never hinged block of eight from the Second London Print Coiling Dragon series, featuring the 16 cent denomination in olive green. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd. using gravure without watermark, this issue showcases the dynamic imagery of a coiling imperial dragon above a leaping carp—symbols of strength, transformation, and imperial authority in Chinese culture. The stamp was valid until April 1, 1914, and was part of the later London printings which refined color tone and impression quality compared to earlier issues. Perforation varies slightly among printings of this series. Catalogued as Scott N130, Michel CN-IM 78, Yvert et Tellier CN-IM 66A, Stanley Gibbons CN-IM 157, and China Stamp Society CN-IM 138. The block displays vivid color, sharp impressions, and full original gum across all eight stamps, with clean margins and no faults. Estimate "$360 – 420"
