CHINA. Qing Dynasty. 100 Cash, ND (ca. March 1854-July 1855). Board of Revenue Mint, western branch. Emperor Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Certified "85" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.

咸丰元宝 宝泉当百。重：45.6克，宝福，七笔贝。正面："咸丰元宝"，背面"当百"。赏心悦目的一枚，精緻完好的字样，底版自然粗糙，打磨工序留下的痕迹明显。深沉厚重的铜色，加上少许积土，更给这枚高面值大钱增添魅力。为求客观公正，必须提及背面临近边缘、"当"字右侧底版处有几条髮丝刮痕。无边缘磕碰或其它明显伤痕，显然是发行后很快就退出流通，并被很好地保存。定会引发藏家激烈竞投。

CHINA. Qing Dynasty. 100 Cash, ND (ca. March 1854-July 1855). Board of Revenue Mint, western branch. Emperor Wen Zong (Xian Feng). Certified "85" by Zhong Qian Ping Ji Grading Company.Hartill-22.710. Weight: 45.6 gms. Fou bao, seven stroke bei. "Xian Feng yuan bao"; Reverse: "Dang bai". This highly attractive survivor exhibits bold well-defined features and naturally rough surfaces with plenty of remaining evidence of the finishing process. The pleasing rich patination coupled with minor earthen deposits adds much originality to this high denomination large cast issue. The reverse does exhibit a couple of lines in the surface near the rim to the right of "Dang" in the field that appear to be as made mentioned for accuracy. Clearly an example that was plucked from circulation early on and handled with great care as this large format piece is remarkable free of edge bumps or other signs of maltreatment, certain to see spirited bidding from many collectors.
