Chinese medals - silver isn't the only composition!

Yeah, b.. Always gotta send in the COA with these things.


And for the ultra-low mintage pieces, definitely have to have all kinds of proof.

I understand where they're coming from with that, but that's pretty lousy how they charged you twice & kept the capsules -- especially the 2nd time around.

 

They need to read mandarin and good at it not train the technical skill

 

Good point Andy but I suppose they could have received language training in the U.S.


Barsenault, don't kick yourself for not being able to detect a fake because:
1) neither you not I nor many collectors who don't focus heavily on Pandas will know the difference
2) the fakes are getting better all the time and they are sometimes even fooling the experts.

Anyone know much about this medal aside from what ggoodluck mentions in his listing? Or perhaps ggoodluck can shed more light on this piece on this thread (if you're reading it). Perhaps a little more insight into the artist and his work. Thanks much.

"when this medal was issued,most of them were shot by the followers of Chen Jian,very hot!"


Sounds pretty brutal, b..

Are you sure you want to get involved with this?

 

lol. yeah, I read the language the same...had to re-read. lol.

 

Chen Jian PF69 (ggoodluck has one for sale), beautiful details. 500 minted. And my Longevity 3.3, PF68. Not sure how many minted. There is another of these for sale on eBay (don't know the seller). They were conserved, and graded.

 

The detail on the Chen Jian is sick! Congrats on a super 69 grade!

I know that for at least a few different Chinese medals that are minted in brass and copper, the mintage for the copper is lower than for the brass version of that medal design.

Is this somewhat normal? Why the lower mintage for the copper version?



.

 

The medal in china sponsor by private investors/sponsor or/and mints themselves. Generally, the mints has an internal policy of the minimum mintage for medal and subject to approval of their management.

Lower mintage medal has higher costs due to economy of scales. It also depends on spot rate of the metals, relationship with mints, complicated of the design, relief level, designers and all others factors.

Therefore, which metal is higher mintage can be decided by them and no norm.

However, you realise shanghai mints is always come with higher mintage medal than Nanjing and Shenyang BUT few exceptional due to the power of the sponsor with the mints management. Each mints has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Nanjing mints is good in minting processes which less tend to white spot and good in design god, dragon and phoenix, traditional folk theme and animal.

Shanghai mints is good in designers who has more famous designers than other 3 china official mints. However, they tend to produce silver metal for white spot like macoa panda expo, panda expo 1, classical garden long corridor onward even they claim rhadium plating apply.

 

Bob this the Chen Jian 9 dragon in one pieces medal. Take a look of the COA which is good match to the medal which 9 dragon and long 999 for coa. LOL he signature too

 

this 9 dragon is also good

C Chinese medals - silver isn't the only composition.

In a March 2015 Macau sale by Champion Auctions an ungraded 1985 brass Panda sold for $23,000. Numic value is not related to the material.

 

Been Here, but what i bought is only pandas. probably next time I can find them much easier. my take home includes teapots and plates and silver chopsticks.

Heres the Great wall Shanhaiguan pass/Yu pass

 

November ???? it look cold

 

Yup Andrewlee10, i climb 3 times on that place in different year, i went also into dragon head gate. In the city of Qinhuangdao, just near the intersection of the main street, there is a small store of silver bars, ingots and pandas. Also there is a lot of store selling Finex Jewelries. They have beautiful finex bars. Probably next year, when i come back, i will purchase medal too. i will check my archive now for chinese medals to share.

 

Here is mine: Harmonious Olympics Floriated Commemorative Medallion

 

I'm really hoping someone here can help me. My mother found a box that had what looks like a medal from China. I have never been a collector and have not been able to find any items matching what this looks like in both front and back. I have seen pictures of medals with the Great Wall on them that are the same from this auction http://m.ebay.com/itm/321908349691

The one we found though says "China tourist souvenirs joint development corporation" there is also writing above it in Chinese. I am at work now but will try to post pics when I get home tonight.

Any information would be greatly appreciated
