NGC-graded Selections from Charles Tanant Collection at Champion Auction

NGC-graded coins from the Charles E Tanant Collection are featured in the Champion LiveAuctioneers Spring auction, to be held online on the morning of April 4, 2018 (Macau, China time).

All of the Tanant Collection Part Three coins are graded by NGC, and many are of the highest grade.

Charles Tanant, a native of France, was a customs official in the China Maritime Service in the late 19th century and early 20th century. He built his Chinese coin collection as he moved around during his career, before retiring in 1923. His collection spent most of the next century in the south of France.
