CHINA. Henan Yaoding. Provincial Waisted Ingots. Silver 5 Tael Ingot, ND. Graded "XF" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company
BMC-Class XXXVII Group B # 402 pl.47 (same smith name, different punch); Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Money Collection-21. Weight: 184 gms. "Liang Chi Chang" (Cast by smith Liang Chichang). The stamp is somewhat weak in the centers muddling the character there. The piece is bright and appears to have been cleaned with light hairlines on the face and corresponding portion of the base. An interesting issue that often times get confused with the similarly manufactured Shanxi province ingots.
Estimate: $400.00- $600.00
