CHINA--EMPIRE. Ming Dynasty. 1 Kuan, 1368-99. P-AA10.(S/M#T36-20) A sensational note which shows with minimal circulation and well bodied paper. The note likely missed the EPQ designation from PMG as there are a few light stains at top and bottom center. Pleasing detail remains although the vermillion overprints are slightly faded. Always an incredibly popular issue and recently has been breaking records at auction nearly every time when offered. A quick look at the PMG population reports shows this as the finest they have handled with no equals. PMG Pop. 1/none finer.PMG Extremely Fine 40
