Phenomenal Double Dragon Empire 10 Cent Mint Sport (t) CHINA. Mint Sport -- Struck with Two Dragon Side Dies -- 10 Cents, ND (1908). Tientsin Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, Unc Details. L&M-900; cf. KM-Y-12; CCMC-CE1.2. A most intriguing and striking piece of Mint Sport, this breathtaking 10 Cent delivers a strike with two obverse dies, creating a double dragon specimen. Likely produced with the pattern dies for the Empire minor of the same year, this intriguing mule displays a strong strike and almost no evidence of handling on the surfaces. The noted cleaning is light, and does not leave excess hairlines, but is merely attested to by some brightness. Some olive tone has started to reappear, dulling the brightness of the example. An altogether pleasing and charming specimen for any specialist seeking a dramatic piece for their collection. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
