(t) CHINA. Szechuan. 10 Cash, ND (1903-05). NGC AU-58.

CL-SC.04; KM-Y-226; CCC-363. Variety with large rosettes and large Manchu script. Rich, glossy, chocolate brown surfaces showcase hazel red accents. Upon close examination, extremely faint signs of handling can be seen on the design peaks. Some light die cracking on the characters side is to be noted for completeness, and, despite being made with used dies, the present coin is struck up nicely. Tied with one other for finest on the NGC census.

Estimate: $700.00 - $1000.00

四川官局造光緒元寶十文。

大花，大字滿文。醇厚油亮的巧克力棕色幣面，榛子紅色點綴。仔細檢視可見高鑄處有極輕微的經手痕跡。字面有些許淺模裂，特此説明。使用舊模具所鑄，但鑄打頗佳。NGC 評鑒中與另一枚並列最佳。
