STRINGS OF 200
|
| STOCK# | TITLE | DESCRIPTION | PRICE$ |
| 25 | Basic String | Roughly 90% Qing, naturally dominated by the commoner rulers, Peking Mints, though usually with some Sung, Ming, a Kai Yuan or two, and a few Japanese and Vietnamese. There may be a few contemporary counterfeits or badly worn/encrusted pieces, but generally they keep these out as unwanted by the jewelry market. SAMPLE STRING Back in stock: ($70 each per 3 or more) | 80.00 |
| 25c | Needs cleaning | This group looks like it has spent more time buried than in circulation so the basic grade should be better, but it will take a little more effort in cleaning. SAMPLE STRING | 80.00 |
| 25f | Cleaned | These strings have been cleaned by tumbling in Indonesia, and any small, thin, or damaged pieces seem to have been removed. Most likely this was done for the jewellery trade. SAMPLE STRING ($70 each per 3 or more) | 80.00 |
| DISCOUNT | For 25, 25c, 25t ONLY price $70 each if taking 3 or more strings. Also, 26dg below is $80 when ordering 3 or more of 25's or 26dg. | 70.00 |
| 26dg | The Hoard | Nearly all Jia Qing & earlier Qing reigns, a few Dao Guang but apparently nothing later . Many are exceptionally high grade with identical hazy white/green patina. My theory: Brought from China in early DG (1820s?) when 1736-1820 issueswere still lightly circulated, then buried in a pot, limiting the oxidation products to a light smear. SAMPLE STRING including a few pieces lightly wire brushed, which is all that is needed to remove the patina. Good choice for those studying calligraphy varieties or seeking high-grade cash without acid cleaning or tumbling. Several strings available. SPECIAL: If taking 3 or more of this or the "25" strings, mix or match,your price on this one is $80 | 90.00 |
| 26kx | Big Ones | Someone has sorted out the larger size cash, so these run from Shun Zhi through the first few years of Qian Long, though mostly Kang Xi as the commonest reign of this period, plus some strays such as large Vietnam. | 100.00 |
SOLD
| 26ns2 | One Sided, Mostly | These strings have a lot of one-sided (Song, Ming, Kai Yuan, Japanese Kanei Tsuho, etc) but still perhaps 25-50% Qing. | 95.00SOLD |
| 26nv | One Sided | Mostly one-sided (Song, etc) and brown (circulated rather than buried). Worst 200 selected from 400 pieces by grade. Some not bad, others will improve with cleaning, but many worn pieces. Cheap: | 55.00SOLD |

| 25L3 | Damaged / worn | 107 pieces sorted out of bulk cash as too poor for jewelry use. Some would be decent if cleaned. | 21.00 |
