清代广西梧洲府十两银锭 GBCA
清代广西梧洲府十两银锭。 重355.5克。"梧洲府"。戳印深刻恰到好处，文字清晰，图文处有积土。保存完好，淡灰色包浆诱人。饶有趣味的是，此银锭铸造于不同省份，如四川，江西，浙江，形状均相同。注入模具后，它们被分层，用于冷却银的坩埚注入表面冷却金属。此过程让金属浮于坩埚和模具之间，形成高边。之后移走坩埚多馀的金属可铸打底部，形成凸点。<em></em>
On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collectors items manufactured in China. Accordingly, all buyers in forthcoming Stacks Bowers and Ponterio Hong Kong Auctions who wish to have any Chinese manufactured item delivered within the United States will be subject to these tariffs.</em><em>Furthermore, as a result of the new tariffs, all orders will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.</em>
CHINA. Guangxi Piaoding. Provincial Certified Ingots. 10 Tael Bank Ingot, ND. Graded "AU-58" by GBCA. cf. BMC-Class XL (for style of manufacture); cf.Zhang-pg. 237 (for inscription only). Weight: 355.5 gms. "Wu Zhou Fu" (Wuzhou county). The stamp is boldly applied with good definition of the characters and minor earthen deposits amongst the devices. An attractive well preserved example with lovely light grey patina. It is interesting to note that this type of ingot appears to have been produced in multiple provinces in an identical fashion, namely those of Szechuan, Kwangsi and Chekiang. When these types were poured into their moulds they were placed level and the crucible used to smelt the silver was pushed into the surface of the cooling metal. This process caused the metal to flow up between the crucible and the mould creating the high upset rims. Once ready to remove the crucible excess metal stuck to the bottom would create the nipple.
