On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collectors items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $27.75 / maximum $538.40). Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions.</em> <em>Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.</em> (t)
CHINA. Kiangnan. 3.6 Candareens (5 Cents), CD (1899). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-62. L&M-228; K-80; KM-Y-141a; WS-0814. Displaying the old Kiangnan -style dragon that is very characteristic of the early coinage from this mint, the present example yields a deep gunmetal gray tone with some underlying hints of radiant brilliance and subtle pastel toning. Though some of the central details are a bit soft, they are nevertheless completely original and unhandled--a fairly RARE feat for this diminutive type. Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
