Lot Description

Scarce "Inter-provincial" 10 Cash CHINA. Kiangnan. 10 Cash Mule, CD (1907). PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder. CL-HB.38; Y-E140(Plate coin); CCC-612; Duan-2380; W-277 (N-11). SCARCE. Although PCGS has labeled this as a Kiang-nan issue from the "KIANG-NAN" on the obverse, Woodward, CL and Duan all file this under Hu-Poo or general issues. Woodward (p. 48) notes, "[This] should really belong to the Kiang-nan Province series, but which is placed here because it appeared as a reverse to obverse N during the republican days of 1924." Many collectors throw up their hands and call this "inter-provincial". Well struck with good definition of the details. Attractive smooth even patina. Estimate: $300 - $500. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Ex: R. B. White. PCGS #400030. PCGS AU-58 Secure Holder.
