(t) CHINA. Yunnan Sanchuo Jieding. Provincial Three Stamp Remittance Ingots. Silver 4.75 Tael Bank Ingot, ND. Graded XF-45 by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.
BMC-Class LXVI Group I. Weight: 174.4 gms. "Dai Tian Yuan Ji Hui Hao Wen Yin" (Daitianyuan bank, remittance bank fine silver), "Guan Gong Gu Tong Fu Sheng Kan" (Inspected by official public assayer Tongfusheng Bank), "Guan Gong Gu Zhou Bao Quan Kan" (Inspected by official public assayer Zhoubaoquan Bank). The central and outer stamps are deeply impressed with bold crisp characters, though the central stamp does exhibit a small natural void that somewhat obscures a couple of the character strokes. The two assay stamps are strong, but unevenly applied with portions of several characters over the edge. This richly toned example is attractive with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices and underlying luster in the protected areas offering much originality and a pleasing appearance.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
