Hupeh. Kuang-hsü 20 Cash CD (1906) MS63 Red and Brown PCGS, Wuchang mint, KM-Y11j, CCC-127. This seemingly standard provincial copper issue is actually a significant rarity in Mint State. The present representative has quite a fascinating color pattern; the brown parts have toned very dark and the original red luster now displays as a combination of flame-red and fuchsia. A testament to it's rarity, PCGS has only certified one other Red Brown specimen of this type at this grade point and only four finer.
