(t) CHINA. Jiangxi Fangcaoding. Provincial Square Trough Ingots. Silver 3 Tael Local Tax Ingot, ND. Graded "AU" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.
cf. BMC-Class LXIV. Weight: 104.4 gms. "Wan Long" (Name: Wan long). This nicely preserved example displays lovely light gray patina with areas of richer coloration and minor earthen in the crevasses and protected areas offering much originality. The stamp is unevenly applied with about half of the characters struck up, but doesn't affect one's ability to read it. This seldom encountered size is quite unusual for this province destined for an advanced collection.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
