Enticing and Enchanting Muling of Two Dragon Side Dies CHINA. Kiangsu. Mint Error -- Double Dragon Mule -- 10 Cash, ND (ca. 1906). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62 Brown. CL-KS.67; Woodward-865 (12-13; RR); Duan-1718; KM-Y-10n (for basic type). When one looks at this piece, it is immediately noticed that it presents two reverse dies. Nearly identical on each side, with a distinguishing merely by the arrangement of the clouds. Regarding this piece, Woodward wrote that there is a "strong probability" that these pieces were mint sport and that this piece is of "RR" rarity, which is confirmed by the population reports. PCGS has only ever certified three of this type, with the this example being the only uncirculated example of the trio. Mocha brown in overall color, and with touches of red mint luster peaking through and an overall glossy finish to the surfaces. Very little evidence of contact is seen on the surfaces, though some light deposits are observed in the recesses between characters. Certainly among the most desirable of RARITIES, this type was only ever able to be traced to one auction in the past, a VF-25 example from our 2018 Hong Kong auction. Dwarfing that piece in beauty, this example may well reach a new plateau and establish a new landmark for Kiangsu cash pieces. Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000.
