Lot description: (t) CHINA. Kiangsi. 10 Cash, ND (1902). Nanchang Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS VF-35. CL-KSI.16; KM-Y-154; CCC-284. Variety with small top characters. Doubled die obverse. Featuring the flying dragon, a vastly different dragon type than the rest of the province's output for the denomination, this evenly circulated brown-brick red example remains charmingly without issue. Some darker hues elevate the characters and design elements, while some doubling in noted upon the dragon side. The last example of this VERY RARE type that we offered was the Q. David Bowers/R. B. White specimen, a PCGS EF-45 with same (unnoted) doubling on the dragon side, realizing a total of $13,200 in our August 2018 Hong Kong auction (Lot # 40179). Estimate: $10000 - $15000 |
