China - Provincial，KWANGSI: Republic, AE 10 cents, year 10 (1921), KM-Pn3, L&M-168A, K-746.IIx, pattern issue, off-metal strike in copper, a wonderful mostly red specimen quality example! PCGS graded Specimen 64 RB. Eduard Kann states that these were possibly struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. This was based on the fact that the patterns often show up in the USA, as well as a collection Kann viewed when writing his book. The owner of that collection was of the view that these were struck in Philadelphia. Basically the Philadelphia Mint theory is just conjecture and not based on any solid fact. It is also possible that they were struck in Canton, Kwangtung Province. The Canton mint at this time was one of the largest mints in the world (previously set up by the British). Kwangtung is also very closely located to Kwangsi and seems most logical.
