China Bank of Communications 10 Dollars 1.7.1913 Pick 111As S/M#C126-40 Specimen PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ

Description

China Bank of Communications 10 Dollars 1.7.1913 Pick 111As S/M#C126-40 Specimen PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Among the highest graded examples we have auctioned. The detailed train vignette at front is almost photorealistic and three-dimensional. The equally well executed vignette on the back presents the bank building. Great technical skill is required to produce the effect of such dramatic lighting in an engraved image. The selvage included on this Specimen note features a fascinating array of printer's stamps and information. Only the printer's stamp is mentioned on the holder. There are two POCs at bottom.

NOTE: This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after September 1, 2019. Under the new US tariffs on Chinese goods, collector's items from China will be subject to an import tariff. Any clients who wish to take delivery of this item in the United States should be aware of this added charge, and consult their tax adviser with any questions. If you choose to take delivery in the United States and purchase both tariffed and non-tariffed lots from this auction, please note that the automatic invoice you receive after the auction will be incorrect; you will be emailed revised invoices shortly afterwards. The lots that fall under the tariff will be invoiced separately and will ship directly from our Hong Kong Office and carry a separate, additional shipping charge.

此為敝司所曾經手的最高分數例子之一。正面的火車圖案細節豐富入微。而背面銀行大廈的圖案同樣匠心獨運。要造就出這般天衣無縫的視覺效果對雕工要求極高。這張樣票附有闊寬紙邊，呈現著各類各樣的印刷商戳記和資訊。而封套則僅提到戳記。


Estimate: $800 - up.
