1953年第二版人民币拾圆大黑拾 PMG Choice AU 58
CHINA--PEOPLES REPUBLIC. Peoples Bank of China. 10 Yuan, 1953. P-870.(S/M#C282-14) The highlight of our Peoples Republic of China offerings and a piece which will highlight any collection it enters. The note is quite inspiring as the format is significantly larger than the others of the 1953 series. Gray-black inks make up the basic design and "Farm Couple," vignette at center with red signature seals and serial numbers.
Extended left end seen with protector and watermark. The note is observed with only a few hints of handling and a single vertical fold at center. A few highly minor flecks of rust are observed under scrutiny and mentioned by PMG as "Minor Rust," in the comments section of the holder. Certainly the finest for the design we have handled and light years beyond the piece we sold for $14,340.00 as lot 24323 in our April 2012 Hong Kong sale which graded Very Fine. Recent trends have shown this 10 Yuan note fetching in excess of $50,000.00 at public sales in About Uncirculated grades. Bid accordingly.PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 Net. Minor Rust.
