If you know clearly that such Chinese bars are not a wise choice, don't bother. As well as, usually to make a decent profit, you have to be...
I don't think we can tell what years the notes were printed in, unless the notes explicitly tells you when they were printed. But often, we should...
If you are thinking that buying silver in bulk is cheaper, I disagree. Mints generally have a tendency to make them scarce, so that it will raise...
This has already exceed what I normally buy, but because the dealer labelled it as Bukhara and it was cheap, I went for it. Obviously, the dealer...
That most certainly is awesome, although the price tag might be a bit huge. It would be funny to see how much cheaper would it be to get it...
That is very interesting. Can you try to post any images if possible? Images speak more than what you can possibly describle.
I doubt you can tell the sound difference between silver and ni-cupro+bronze alloy if I am not mistaken. I as a kid was not able to tell the...
Not only China, but the rest of the E. Europe has been involved with it, especially with the Russian numismatics.
If I am not wrong, the reason it is called radar is because it's symetric, for example, 12344321 is a valid radar number, 987656789 is another...
I don't know how it works in the US, but in Russia, yes you can buy silver commemorative coins straight off. Perhaps in the US, you have to...
That's because such coins were minted excessively. I doubt the gold refineness is anywhere near 999, probably 925 at best.
Seems like some sort of solder damage or some sort people were fooling around with. Dont' think it's possible under minting process.
Disagree - remember that silver and gold prices went insane at the beginning of 1980. Why? Remember who boycotted the Moscow Olympics and during...
Yes, my field is getting a bit too pricy to touch. Ironically, while US coins are usually depicted as expensive, I'm starting to believe that US...
Smeared ink? They decided to be cheap and use ink jet??? :eek:
1 is a number = being first perhaps? 70 is a number = best grade? 100 is a number = being perfect in some tests? You can practially...
WOW, not TOO normal I have to say. It's like the background, and the check digit 6 is terribly messed up! Nice one there.
It's most likely because they think it's old, well very likely a lot older than them, which makes them think it's a family antique object. Coupled...
Wait, over 4oz of silver and in 925 silver and just 23.80 with shipping?!?!?!?!?! Wasn't silver price over 10 USD per ounce??? Ok, let's hoard. :)
The notes that you have posted later is from the Henan province in China. They are 2 and 5 fen.
