China Kwangtung Currency Bureau $1 Year 30 (1904) Pick S2385 S/M#K51-1a-b
An example grading PMG Very Fine 30, with previous mounting and a stain. The mounting looks as if it was done with two early stamp hinges, and the stain is fainter on the face than on the back. Nonetheless, tonight's offering is much nicer than the only other Pick S2385 we have auctioned. We saw that Apparent VG 10 piece climb to over $1500 at our April 2014 CSNS auction. The current higher grade piece should hammer for several times more.
