湖北省造光绪通宝宝武机制方孔样币 PCGS MS 64 CHINA. Hupeh. Brass Cash, ND (1898). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64.

寶武局光緒通寶機製方孔銅幣。PCGS中评鑑最高分，细节出眾，光泽亮丽。全无经手痕跡，古钱专家的必然之选。虽然之前被称為样币，很可能因為 CCC 形容此版為"外国打铸的机製币"，但可能不是试铸发行。虽然版别起源神祕，但若是样币的话发行量未免过多，单是PCGS 的评分报告中已有 23 枚。此外，Hsu 亦将此版归类為流通打铸。</em></em>CHINA. Hupeh. Brass Cash, ND (1898). Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-64.Hsu-181. Tied for the finest of the type yet certified by PCGS, the present example delivers a boastful amount of luster along with strong details. Escaping really any evidence of handling, this piece is perfect for the specialist in Cash issues. Though previously called a pattern issue, likely arising from the placement of this piece with "foreign-made machine mint products" in CCC, it is more likely not a trial striking. Though elusive, there appears to be too many produced to be patterns, with 23 on the PCGS population report. Additionally, Hsu places this coin as a regular circulation strike along with other contemporaneous Cash.</em>From the Kenneth Bressett Collection.
