- Extremely Rare "Flying" Dragon 10 Cash CHINA. Anhwei. 10 Cash, ND (1902-06). PCGS EF-40 BN Secure Holder. CL-AH.05; Y-39.1; CCC-75; W-92 (F-28); Duan-0586. EXTREMELY RARE flying dragon type with six-pointed stars. Province spelled "AN-HUI", reeded edge. According to Zhou Qinyuan and Li Pingwen authors of the outstanding reference "Concise Catalogue of Modern Chinese Copper Coins", of the two varieties listed for the flying dragon one is with rosettes while the other has six-pointed stars such as the present example. Upon further comparison the flying dragon type with six-pointed stars is the rarest of all Anhwei 10 cash with the only exception being of a totally different type, the square hole type with facing dragon, of about equal rarity. The pioneering works of Tracey Woodward state that this type is excessively rare. The only example of the flying dragon type that we were able to locate was the Ake Linden Ex: Dr. Norman Jacobs specimen graded NGC-AU50BN sold in Baldwin's Hong Kong auction April 3, 2014 Lot # 286 that hammered down at $38,000. The Linden/Jacobs piece also happened to be the more "common" variety with rosettes rather than six-pointed stars. The chance to acquire such a rarity should not be taken lightly as it may not appear on the market again for many years to come. Handsome smooth medium brown patina in the open fields with complementary caramel atop of the devices. A lovely example with a fabulous provenance sure to be the centerpiece of the next collection it enters. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Ex: R. B. White. PCGS #245101. PCGS EF-40 BN Secure Holder.
