Very nice Guanyin gold coin, maybe Daniel Carr can make a better one.

    In 2003 China minted an absolutely beauty of a Buddhist Gold Coin. I think the mintage was only 33,000 but I'm not too certain about that. It's a hologram coin so when you tilt it, it has a beautiful change of color. :D I would probably buy one if they were cheaper in price. Also, I don't know if the coin is 24k or not but with a hologram thrown on it you could probably make these coins out of 14k, idk. Maybe an opportunity for Daniel Carr, what ya' think? Anyone here, have one?

    Man, that's awesome. Kinda pricey vis-a-vis its bullion content, but wow, it sure is beautiful. If it were only a bit closer to spot instead of nearly 3x that, I'd be really tempted.

    PS- I don't mean at spot. I would pay a premium. Just not 2.8x or 3x or whatever it is, slab notwithstanding.

    PPS- colorized stuff is seldom my cuppa tea, but in this case it "works", I think. Quite well, from an aesthetic standpoint.

    Here is a Buddhist themed coin type that has been on my radar for a while. Haven't gotten one yet. I will have one eventually, and a proof, most likely. This type is definitely on my "must have" list.

    Here is @Zohar444's example from an earlier post here.

    (Hey, Zohar- if you still have that, and happen to have tired of it... well... you know...) ;)

    *Oops- accidentally tagged @TIF there for a moment, since her avatar and @Zohar444's look similar. I thought it was weird to see her owning a slab. LOL.

    If I got the KM variety right, the Krause value of the coin in the OP in Proof is only $225.

    Stunning coin, though. I'd pay full catalog for one.

    Happy to see Krause has it at $225, that gives me a better idea on what I would pay. Chinese minted coins always make me a bit leery if ya' know what I mean. After all, China has some of the best counterfeiters in the world. :D

    I bought one of these! :D I was thinking you only live once and you can't take it with you. Besides, it's alright to act rich once in awhile if it makes you feel good! laughhard.gif

    A Buddhist... coin. Huh. I'll have to think on that one for a while.
