(t) CHINA. Mint Error -- Full Brockage Obverse -- 20 Cash, ND (1903). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details Gold Shield.
cf. CL-HB.09; KM-Y-5a; CCC-595; Duan-2422. Part of a remarkable group of errors on Chinese coppers we are offering in this sale. The attribution to CL-HB.09 is, of course, tentative as the dragon is missing. Traces of pitting and verdigris on the character side. Well used and colored chocolate brown.
That this error and the others in this group are well circulated shows how little attention was paid to the fabric of the coins used every day.
Estimate: $100.00- $200.00
