CHINA-ANHWEI 1902-06 10 Cash Copper NGC VF35BN

CHINA-ANHWEI ND(1902-06) 10 Cash Copper, Rev. Flying Dragon and Rosette at sides, Y39, CCC74, Woodward 19, NGC VF35BN. Tan Collection, Rare. A very rare and distinct coin. Unlike all other Anhui coins which have the Manchu mintmark "An", this coin has a Manchu mintmark "Hui." This obverse die (Woodward F) was only used with the flying dragon reverse die (Woodward 11). Neither die was used with any other die, aside from a variety of the reverse die which has stars instead of rosettes to the left and right (Woodward 92, in the supplement). Both varieties have a reeded edge. The Norman Jacobs specimen of this coin sold for $5,000 in August 2008.
