CHINA. Kiangsi. 10 Cash, ND (1902). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS AU-58. CL-KSI.82; KM-Y-150.3; cf. Duan-1456. Variety right eye higher than left eye and with doubled character side (DDR). This lightly circulated survivor exhibits boldly struck devices and a pleasing chocolate brown patina with areas copper coloration in the highest points. Minor earthen deposits amongst the devices and crevasses add to its originality and eye appeal. Close inspection of the character side devices reveals die doubling, most prominent on the right side of the coin at the province name "Kiang Si" (江西) and Manchu character that indicates the mint name. The example plated in the Duan (1993) is slightly different in that the die doubling is on the left side of the reverse. This interesting variety is certain to add depth to even the most advanced collections of 10 Cash and would make an excellent companion piece to Duan-1456, if one could be acquired. Estimate: $500 - $1,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
