清代咸丰元宝宝源当百。 (t) CHINA. Qing Dynasty. 100 Cash, ND (ca. March 1854-July 1855). Board of Works Mint, New branch. Emperor Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Graded "Genuine" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company. 重45.3克。正面为“咸丰元宝”。背“当百”。点状浅黄铜色包浆，图文之间少许积土。字体饱满，笔划分明，底板大致仍保留天然粗糙质感。 仔细检查可见右下放有币坯裂痕，因此获”真品“评分。 瑕不掩瑜，仍是一枚漂亮的大尺寸铜钱。 Hartill-22.762; FD-2445. Weight: 45.3 gms. Obverse: "Xian Feng Yuan Bao"; Reverse: "Dang Bai". This wholesome and charming example displays light attractive mottled brassy patina with richer coloration throughout and minor earthen deposits amongst the devices. The characters are well-formed exhibiting good definition with much of the naturally rough surface texture remaining. Close inspection reveals flan crack in the lower right quadrant accounting for the "Genuine" designation. Despite its shortcoming a pleasing example of this large format issue.
