安徽省造光绪元宝十文。小字版省份名称。极其罕见。明显的缺陷是正面三点到六点之间的结壳。与其他样币对比，问题不大。所有样币不是太旧就是有破损。市场上很少出现，能保存下来的少之又少。铸打不凡，与评级相当。正面红木、肉桂色包浆诱人。背面呈柔和巧克力色包浆。定能激起藏家兴趣。

CHINA. Anhwei. 10 Cash, ND (1902-06). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, VF Details Secure Holder.CL-AH.56; Duan-0623; CCC-61; W-42 (L-20); Y-Unlisted. Small letters in province name. EXTREMELY RARE. The noted defect of "Environmental Damage" is referring to hard encrustation amongst the devices and in the obverse field between 3 oclock and 6 oclock. When comparing to the other specimens plated in the reference material the present example is about average for the issue. All are either very worn or have signs of maltreatment. The survival rate of this issue seems to be quite dismal with examples coming to market very infrequently. Decent strike with wear consistent for the grade. Attractive mahogany and cinnamon patina on the obverse while the reverse displays mellow chocolate surfaces. Overall a presentable example of this elusive issue sure to excite the specialist.
