(t) CHINA. Hunan. Mint Error -- Full Dragon Side Brockage -- 10 Cash, ND (ca. 1902-06). NGC AU-55.
KM-Y-112.10 (for type); CL-HUN.04 (for type). The obverse brockage, having obliterated the character side, prevents us from giving an exact attribution of variety. We note that the dragon has disconnected scales, five-petalled rosettes and no fiery pearl. This charming example displays lovely glossy chocolate brown surfaces with minor debris amongst the devices offering a pleasing appearance for this copper error sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
