CHINA--REPUBLIC. Bank of China. 1 to 10 Yuan, 1939. P-81As, 81Bs, & 81Cs. Specimens. PCGS GSG Choice About Uncirculated 58 OPQ to Gem Uncirculated 58 OPQ.
3 pieces in lot. A grouping printed by ABNC. Specimen overprints, serial numbers and punch cancels. Each issue that always creates spirited bidding when offered as occurrences are few and far in between. Typically, these pieces if found at all, are seen in remainder form without signatures or in proof with all, including these specimens being very rare. Attractive ABN styling with detailed portrait of Liao Chung-kai at left and 12 pointed star at center of each piece. A remarkable non-symmetrical under-printed pattern and back vignette of a bank building found on the reverse of all these pieces.

Pick 81As and 81Cs found in Gem 65 OPQ, with Pick 81Bs being seen in AU 58 OPQ with a faint fold we have trouble seeing through the holder. An offering which may make our estimate seem conservative as this is the first time we are offering these 3 pieces together. PCGS GSG Choice About Uncirculated 58 OPQ to Gem Uncirculated 58 OPQ.

Estimate: $10000.00- $12000.00
