Guangxu Yuanbao twenty text made in Jiangsu can be worth how much money?

If it is a silver dollar that the market price in 80000, if it is a copper coin should be in a few hundred dollars or so mainly began in Guangxu twenty-six years (1900) to Guangxu thirty-one years (1905). This period of time around the mint have Guangxu Yuanbao characters. The head factory minted coins on the front left and right of the "Ministry of the household" two words, everywhere in the front of the upper edge or left and right of the provincial names and place names, to show the difference. During this period, the various factories and bureaus do their best to design their own, there are a large number of characteristics of the dragon figure, pattern, is the most varieties of copper yuan, the richest pattern, the most complicated version of the period of the recent circulation of copper yuan issue although only a short period of more than thirty years, but the number of the vast, the variety of the complexity of the version of the many, it is really breathtaking. According to estimates, only from 1900 to 1917, the country's provinces when the casting of the ten copper yuan when there are 32 billion pieces. And only the back of the late Qing dynasty copper yuan coiled dragon pattern version of more than 400 kinds. Nowadays, copper yuan has become a major category of coin collection. However, how to pick out the more collectible varieties from such a huge number and variety of copper dollars, it is really difficult for most of the coin collecting enthusiasts who are new to the collection of copper dollars. Now briefly introduces a few of the most simple and easy to learn selection method, I hope to be able to help the first set of copper yuan of friends. Look at the minting material The material of the minted copper yuan is of course copper, various copper yuan in red copper yuan is the most common, brass yuan is rare. Some provinces in order to reduce the cost of more profits, the large casting of copper into a lower color of brass yuan, such as the "Qing dynasty copper coins" in the center of the Ning word twenty, Fengtian Guangxu copper yuan, such as brass mostly, red copper yuan, on the contrary, rarely seen. In addition, the private casting of copper yuan is also mostly brass. Casting neat and exquisite, color and lustre white as silver white copper coins and lead copper yuan is mostly belong to the nature of the sample coin, rare. Currently on the market appeared a lot of white copper coin forgeries, generally used in the ordinary copper yuan surface nickel-plated method of forgery, but not very smooth, more sand bubbles, edges without teeth, the body of the coin is thinner, does not have the characteristics of sample coins, it is not difficult to identify. Look at the face value of the size of the copper dollar face value there are many, including when the ten copper yuan is the most common, when a text, two text, five text, twenty text, fifty text, one hundred text, two hundred text, five hundred text and other values of the copper yuan are worth paying attention to. "Guangxu yuanbao" sichuan when thirty copper yuan, because the face value does not meet the folk custom, rotary casting rotary abolition, there are only a dozen or so in existence, very rare. "Qing dynasty copper coins" xuantong twenty text, "guangxu yuanbao" guangdong five text, jiangnan jiachen "guangxu yuanbao" twenty text, henan province made the republic of china double flag five hundred text, etc. are rare treasures! But it can not be generalized. But can not be generalized, such as the Republic of Sichuan minted "Sichuan copper coins" when the twenty, when the fifty, when the hundred is a common species. Look at the minting process Copper dollars are generally cast by machine, so it is called "mechanism of copper dollars". But some places can not afford to buy the machine due to the simple minting or civil soil private casting, resulting in a mechanism is not the copper yuan. Such as the use of traditional sand casting "sand version of the copper dollar", manpower hand-cranked mechanical casting of semi-mechanical coins, as well as hand-beaten copper yuan. These non-machine casting of copper yuan, more than the product of the transition period, the number of casting is not much, has a certain collection value. In addition, the general center of the copper yuan without holes, so found in the middle of the hole, especially the square hole of the copper yuan is worth paying attention to. One of the "Guangxu Yuanbao" Anhui square hole ten copper yuan is the rarest, it is estimated that the amount of survival will not be more than 10, known as the "first class treasure". See whether the wrong version of the copper yuan common wrong version of the form: 1. English error, mainly letters written wrong, misspelled words, etc.. Such as "A" written as "A", the word "PROVINCE" (province) misspelled as "PROVINEC", etc. 2. ", etc. 2. Manchu errors. Such as the sichuan government bureau made "guangxu yuanbao" copper yuan, the upper edge of the jidi "sichuan government bureau made", the center of the Manchu text but for "treasure blessing" (fujian cast money bureau). 3. the back pattern mismatch. Such as "guangxu yuanbao" back mismatch Qing dragon figure, "guangxu yuanbao" hubei made back mismatch guangdong flying dragon figure, "qing dynasty copper coins" xuantong yiyou year made back mismatch "Guangxu years made" characters, etc. 4. Yin pattern. Most of the text of the surface of the copper yuan coins for the protruding Yangwen, there are very few will have a single-sided Yinwen pattern, which is produced in the manufacturing process of the error. 5. back, and the surface of the copper yuan. The error version of the copper dollar is worth paying attention to. See whether there is a tooth edge In general, the side of the copper yuan is not any decoration of the light side, rolled with a tooth edge of the vast majority of the copper yuan belongs to the nature of the sample coins worth collecting. But "Guangxu Yuanbao" Jiangsu ten text and the Republic of China in the fifteenth year of Sichuan Jiahe copper yuan is also common teeth edge ordinary products exist, this is an exception. Look at the appearance of the appearance is known as the "life of the collection". Good or bad character, not only affects the price of the collection of differences, but also related to the collection of whether it is easy to realize the problem. Copper dollar character relative to the copper yuan collection is particularly significant. Mechanism copper yuan both on the surface finish, and even the edge of the wire good or bad have strict requirements, any defects will affect the price of the collection. The pattern text is clear, no wear and tear, the surface is smooth and clean, the edge of no obvious traces of impact, etc., basically can be counted on a good quality. Copper yuan in good condition is worth collecting, even if it is an ordinary variety, the collection value is also higher.
