江苏省造光绪元宝十文 PCGS VF 25

江苏省造光绪元宝十文。Woodward记载中极罕。另一枚坯模与江南版别几乎相同，唯一的差异在于龙头上的云海分佈。磨损均匀，无明显瑕疵。非常动人光滑的肉桂色包浆。对顶尖中国铜币藏家而言不容错过。

CHINA. Kiangsu. 10 Cash Mule, ND (circa 1906). PCGS VF-25 BN Secure Holder.CL-KS.67; W865 (12-13); Duan-1718; cf.CCC-255 and 257 (obverses only); Y-10n (for basic type). EXTREMELY RARE as noted in Woodward. Another almost identical mule is mentioned for Kiangnan (CL-KN.88, W776), distinguishable only by the arrangement of the clouds around the dragons. Moderate wear consistent for the grade with no major marks to speak of. Lovely smooth glossy surfaces with attractive mahogany and mocha patina. An intriguing piece sure to excite even the most advance collector.
