浙江省光绪元宝当十铜镍样币。极罕。顶上的满文"Boo",与顶上的中央直笔相连。根据"Concise Catalogue of Modern Chinese Copper Coins",Dr. Norman Jacobs的样币是唯一经确认的版别,续言Woodward 所列的应存世但为极罕。此枚应为Woodward 中所列的版别,但因为没有实图所以无从考究。呈流通痕迹,与评级相符。非常有趣,定引起铜币专门的藏家竞投。

CHINA. Chekiang. Pattern 10 Cash Struck in Copper-Nickel, ND (1903-06). PCGS SP-62 Secure Holder.CL-ZJ.13; W-132 (M-3); KM-Pn10; CCC-Unlisted; cf.Duan-1020 (for basic type). EXTREMELY RARE. Top of Manchu character "Boo" connected to the top of the middle stroke. According to authors Zhou Qinyuan and Li Pingwen of the outstanding reference "Concise Catalogue of Modern Chinese Copper Coins", a standard on the subject, state that the Dr. Norman Jacobs specimen was the only confirmed example in this material. They go on to say that Tracey Woodward cites an example saying that it exists and that it is extremely rare. The present example is probably the piece that Woodward cites, but since it was not plated we can not confirm this. Sharply struck with definition of the fine details. Signs of handling consistent for the grade. An interesting piece sure to see serious bidding from the specialist.
