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 (1901). Nanking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS Genuine--Scratch, AU Details. L&M-240; K-89; KM-Y-141a; WS-0843. Already boasting a rather enticing pedigree, this stunning minor--<em>the smallest denomination in the series for which this date serves as the terminus</em>--exhibits very little in the way of actual handling and, despite the noted scratch across the forehead of the dragon, is quite pleasant. The IMMENSE RARITY cannot be understated, as this piece is a classic within the provincial series, and undoubtedly will be highly appreciated by the advanced collector. This cataloger was able to locate just one other specimen, a PCGS VF-25, initially realized a hammer of $7,500 in April 2011 (<em>then raw</em>), and sold again two years later in our April 2013 Hong Kong auction for a hammer of $10,000. Clearly, this superior exemplar should soar to even loftier heights. Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs Collection.
