Offered here is a 1906 China Hupeh 10 Cent (10C) featuring the scarce Two Peak Cloud, Thick Stroke “KWANG” variety, graded an impressive AU58 BN by NGC.
This is a particularly desirable piece for collectors of Chinese provincial coinage and specialized Hupeh varieties, combining a scarce variety attribution with an exceptional certified grade.
Extremely Low NGC Population – Only 4 Examples
One of the most important features of this coin is its exceptionally low NGC population.
According to the NGC population information provided:
- AU58 BN: Only 4 examples
- Higher Grades: 0 examples
- NGC Highest Grade: AU58 BN
With only 4 coins graded AU58 BN and none graded higher, this example currently stands at the top of the NGC population report for this designation.
A population of just four examples makes this an especially interesting opportunity for collectors who focus on condition rarity and scarce Chinese provincial varieties. While population reports can change as additional coins are submitted, the combination of an extremely low population and no higher-graded examples is certainly noteworthy.
Scarce Hupeh Variety
The Two Peak Cloud, Thick Stroke “KWANG” designation identifies a specific variety within the 1906 Hupeh series. Variety collectors appreciate these specialized characteristics, making this coin considerably more interesting than simply a standard example of the type.
The AU58 grade is also especially desirable, representing an exceptionally well-preserved About Uncirculated example approaching Mint State condition. The BN (Brown) designation reflects the coin's predominantly brown coloration.
