CHINA. Szechuan. Pattern Cash Error, ND (ca. 1897). PCGS MS-61 Secure Holder.
cf.KM-Pn2; cf.Hsu-3; cf.Duan-3912. VERY RARE. Struck in brass with square hole punched out. Produced by the Ferracute company in New Jersey. An interesting error that appears to be uniface, but in fact is the result of two planchets being fed in between the dies at the same time and subsequently struck at the same time. A nice counterpart to the of the error of the opposing side without the square hole punched out also in this sale. Encrustation and thin planchet crack define the grade. Lightly toned displaying hints of iridescent tone that pop out when tilted in the light. Very interesting and sure to excite even the most advanced collector of Szechuan, Imperial or Cash coinage. PCGS MS-61 Secure Holder.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
