For it to be a shanlong the bottom of long (eš†)should be formed like shan ĺ±±. Hartill 22.264-22.270 for Board of Works. Not seeing that on this coin, all I see is just a run of the mill 22.251. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks! Once in a while I have to make sure I'm not going crazy and misattributing things. I've been going through my Qing cash, attributing a pile and plucking out doubles. Just made the switch to Hartill not too long ago so I have to redo all my tags as well. Was looking to fill a few holes and spotted this one up on everyone's favorite auction site. His price is way off, too.
