5000 mintage (a little too high for my liking). Color is one thing, but these silver pieces look nice. I'm assuming they have a LITTLE relief. I mean, not Chinese type relief, but nice nevertheless. :lol: :lol: Its a big mintage, but good for a couple in my treasure box. lol. http://talismancoins.com/products/65034
That's for rich men. I bought 1 for 69.00. This is for poor people like me. I can't afford 5 oz. I don't have money on trees. I have too many projects going on with my partner Andy, he's very demanding, and have high expectations on quality and what high relief is supposed to look like. :lol: :lol:
Once you hold Chinese high relief medals in your hands, almost everything else looks like the steamroller ran it over before they put it up for sale! .
Yes indeed, I know they aren't quite Chinese high relief, - the best in the world - BUT, they do look decent for 69.00. I'm rolling the dice on one. ) May even get another one if I can sell some stuff. Geesh Louise, what are you waiting for Gaaaaaatito?? :lol: :lol:
i have a cook Islands kilo silver coin image design silimar with this its colorized similar with tuvalu 2015
it is 69.00 USD. Or you can get them for a steal at Downies at $108.00 USD. :lol: http://www.downies.com/Perth-Mint/A...ail&utm_term=0_cb58a32640-86b28c5633-29480609 Or just buy all of them from Talisman for $65.00 (order more than 5) and sell them to Downies for $89.00, and everyone wins. :lol:
If you really want to know, I'm waiting for you guys to get some more worthy medals in stock that I don't have yet -- like those on my wish-list. Once that happens, I'll be glad to throw some more $$ your way.. Anyway, the Perth Mint high-relief 1-oz'ers like these ain't half bad. If one likes any given design, I say go for it. True, not quite like certain Chinese medals, but I put them in a different category due to their size & concave minting style. I'm definitely happy with my one coin.. Even came close to getting its 5-oz counter-part, but just not in the budget right now. Heck, still might try to make it happen, as I think it would be cool to have.
picked up one of these coins, Stunning! Love the size too. I put it next to a kook so you can compare size.
For anyone who purchased the high relief Ancient Chinese Mythical Creatures coin but hasn't delved into authentic Chinese medals, I strongly encourage you to spend some time looking at the threads in the Silver Stackers Modern Chinese Coins & Medallions sub forum ( http://forums.silverstackers.com/forum-54-modern-chinese-coins-medallions.html ) and hop on over to 2 of our own Silver Stacker forum members' site http://www.chinesemedals.com/ .....I'm convinced you'll be very glad you did. The Ancient Chinese Mythical Creatures is a nice coin but pales in comparison to many of the superb ultra high relief authentic Chinese medals which the Ancient Chinese Mythical Creatures coin got its inspiration from. .
