Is it just me, or has 2015 been a slow year for high-relief medals?

    Medal is not significantly less issues in 2015. This is one of the 18 age restricted item for Gatito. This is by one of the reputable private mints

    188 mintage for brass and copper.

    "One day I wrote her name upon the strand,

    But came the waves and washed it away;

    Again I wrote it with a second hand,

    But came the tide and made my pains his prey.

    "Vain man ,"said she ,"thou dost in vain assay

    A mortal thing so to immortalize,

    For I myself shall like to this decay,

    And eek my name be wiped out likewise.

    "Not so,"quoth I ,"let baser things devise

    To die in dust ,but you shall live by fame:

    My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,

    And in the haveans write your glorious name;

    Where,whenas death shall all the world subdue,

    Our love shall live ,and later life renew."

    Another private mints stuff the lucky become became oldman.

    beware if u treat collecting numic as investment which you must make the right decision and NOT anyhow and follow the hype. Overall china modern medal price is more stable than MCC. (This is personal view only). Every ebay sellers have a price gap of same medal (either small or significantly) and claim their are superior quality which might not true. many dealers have no time to cherry pick just for few dollars. This my personal opinion only.

    Formal china media CCTV13 has acknowledged the BIKA platform by paying a formal visit and publish it as news on 25 October 2015. The next day regulate bodies come with new direction and ruling on this matter, major BIKA platforms down from index 0.5% to 6%.

    What will be happen next ???
