湖南省造光绪元宝当十铜元 PCGS XF 45

湖南省造光绪元宝当十铜元。单面错体，共有正面有图案，背面无从考究何种版别，但应与湖南省最为接近。两个坯饼错误地同放一起并打铸所产生的错误，理论上应该有另一枚只打铸了背面而正面是空白的。均匀流通，评分相当，红褐色包浆。非常有趣，定为集藏增添光彩。

CHINA. Hunan. 10 Cash, ND (1902-06). PCGS EF-45 Secure Holder.cf.CL-HUN.13(for basic type); cf.CCC-136(for basic type); cf.Duan-0726(for basic type). Uniface mint error with only the obverse visible. Obviously, without the reverse we cannot attribute the exact variety this was intended to be, but most closely resembles the above cited examples. An interesting error which can be easily explained as two planchets being fed in at the same time and then struck. Theoretically the counterpart to this example could still exist where the reverse was only struck. Moderate circulation consistent for the grade with lovely mahogany patina throughout. Very interesting and sure to add depth to the next collection that it enters.
