- Strongly Struck and Handsome Brass Pattern 2 Cash CHINA. Kiangsu. Brass 2 Cash Pattern, ND (1901). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58. CL-KS.29; KM-Pn2; CCC-230; Duan-1730. A RARE type in this brass composition, this example delivers a bold and expressive strike, with limited instantiations of handling on the surfaces. Gentle luster is retained, with a soft sheen that gently reflects lights. A commendable example with many merits, and one that is certainly amongst the more elusive of all Cash issues. A perplexing issue that is considered a pattern in brass by some, and an off-metal striking by others. The Standard Catalog of World Coins considers it a pattern, and until recently, PCGS has certified this type with the SP designation suggesting they did as well. Currently, PCGS now assigns the MS designation to the type. Despite varying classifications and designations seen, this type remains incredibly elusive, especially is elevated states as seen here. Estimate: $5,000 - $8,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
