    Very nice. Never thought you could get Chinese medals from a garage sale.

    I guess we need a Chinese translator? This is why I am afraid to buy things like that.

    I will put up the link ,but I must say I have bought quality coins from this seller in the past,since the Coa was written solely in Chinese ,and he took the time to weigh the coin 123.77 G ,4 troy ounces ,and when you look at the toning on the coin(most time plate will not tone as deeply) , I am giving the seller the benefit of the doubt that he was unaware of the situation , he has good feedback ,i have contacted him and I am awaiting a response

    Anyway. For those interested in this medal, Luckmoneyro has it for a very reasonable price of $60.00.

    Nice medal.

    Could it be jkcoins bought the medal from luckymonero? Both COA shows #372.

    I have a feeling luckymoneyro is using jkcoins' pictures since it doesnt have the usual Luckmoneyro logo on them. Furthermore jkcoins specializes in coin photography if I'm not mistaken.
