拍品描述： 江苏省造光绪元宝十文。错版币。 (t) CHINA. Kiangsu. Mint Error -- Mule with Two Dragon Side Dies -- 10 Cash, ND (ca. 1902-03). Kiangsu Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS EF-40. 一直广受追捧的错体或戯铸币，晚清铜钱混配，从未正式投入生产，流通更是难得一见。是非常罕有的收藏良机。可见些许磨损，显然经商贸使用。后来经悉心保存，才能获得如此良好状态。大致呈红棕色，是自Q. David Bowers/R. B. White拍卖后首度再现。该枚获评PCGS MS-63棕色，在2018年香港四月拍卖以15,600美元成交。 CL-KS.65; cf. KM-Y-162 (for dragon side). Always a very popular error or the product of mint sport, these mulings of late imperial cash stand as VERY RARE opportunities to acquire a type of coin never intended for actual production, much less circulation. With the present example displaying some evidence of honest wear, it is clear that it did serve a role in commerce, before being set aside and preserved, its lofty status eventually being understood. Mostly red-brown in nature, it represents just the second occurrence of the type in one of our sales--the only other being the Q. David Bowers/R. B. White specimen, PCGS MS-63 Brown, which realized a total of $15,600 in our April 2018 Hong Kong Auction (Lot # 40198).
