China People's Republic 10 Yuan 1953 Pick 870. This second example of the 1953 10 Yuan note makes for an incredible opportunity for die-hard Chinese collectors. The paper is perfectly original, with full embossing and perfectly printed design details. Known for its stature in size and denomination, this note is affectionately referred to as the "Big White Edge" or "Big Black 10." With few survivors available to collectors, notes in any grade are a prized commodity, and offerings in About New are very rare. In 2014, our offering of the Ruth Hill example in Apparent Very Fine 35 topped the $28,000 mark, which should be very easy for these very grade rarities. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
Estimate: 35000-45000 USD
