Rarity of broad-rimmed kangxi baoquan cash

I see in the upcoming stephen album rare coins auction they have an example of type d2 broad rimmed kangxi boo-yuwan cash. I am unfamiliar with the variety but I assume it isn't rare enough to justify the 20USD buyer's premium that auction house imposes especially since the winning bid will probably be like 35-40 dollars anyways. How rare is this specimen within china, can it be found easily? I dont care about certification. I found a few other examples only on zeno but not on other websites.

also sorry I meant baoyuan not baoquan mint

Nice blue patina on Qing Yuan Tong Bao - 3 cash (Southern Song, year 6/1200AD)

Graded by ccg98. Not a trustworthy company, but at least it is slabbed ;) and this looks authentic.

Copied from ancientcoins sorry

I bought some coins from an expo yesterday. They were placed in a small ziploc for about 36 hours. 24 hours ago, they all looked completely fine.

Now, I noticed a white substance on one of them. I immediately took all coins that I saw any white away, they are in the photo. However none of the white was actually able to be disturbed (I used a mechanical pencil) on any coin except the second photo in the slide. What next? I'm very concerned.

I seperated the coins on the second, third and fourth slides and the rest from the ones that had no white on them, and double sealed everything in fresh ziplocs. I will immediately move to 2x2s or saflips when I get home in 3 days.

I am leaning to Vietnam, but that is only based off of the very circular boo, and the fact I know they've made 180 degree errors in the past. It could easily be Chinese too; the Vietnamase Canh Long Thong Baos are less crude than this usually IIRC. I doubt it's Indonesian because while the characters are crude they are still pretty faithful to how they should look. Any opinion is appreciated.

If it is not Balinese let me know but this type is known to people in these circles as from Bali area, they tend to imitate Chinese characters but some are written in the Balinese language like this one.
