This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $31.67 / maximum $614.35). <em>Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions.</em><em>Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.</em> cf. BMC-Class LXVI Group I # 884. Weight: 197.6 gms. 陳元昌記匯號紋銀 (Chenyuanchang Bank, remittance bank fine silver), 官公估同看 (Inspected by official public assayers Zhou and Chen) stamped twice. This wholly original looking example exhibits deeply impressed central and outer stamps, though the central stamp does have a small void in the middle as is a common occurrence for these issues. The assay stamps are nicely centered and easily read. Rich gray patina combined with minor earthen deposits in the crevices lend to its originality.
