<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 8190739, member: 4373&quot;]Uighurs or Uyghurs have been under the news for all sorts of &quot;human right abuse&quot; under the current Chinese regime. I shall avoid the political aspects of it but you can look it up and make your own conclusion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Uighurs have tried to break apart from Xinjiang Province and it was a a short lasted regime for a mere 9 months in 1933. A couple of coins were struck and there are quite a few varieties known. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numista shows a few:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/first_east_turkestan_republic-1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/first_east_turkestan_republic-1.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/first_east_turkestan_republic-1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I bought my first example and and I believe it is the most corroded 10 cash. I tried to find the 20 cash and that proved to be difficult and ended up getting another 10 cash. I did end up lucky with a 20 cash but had to do some preservation that didn&#039;t go too well. I believe back then, the first example that I purchased was around 30 dollar mark and the 20 cash was a bit dearer at 200 or so. </p><p><br /></p><p>The rest came out from a hoard and that happened when I was out of work. I&#039;ll be honest - I thought I&#039;ll buy them and flip them as I thought they were undervalued. Sadly I only had enough to buy a bit over half of what was offered but I did end up with some nice examples. That would sound pretty unbelievable today - ebay doesn&#039;t even have that many examples on offer for starters! </p><p><br /></p><p>In hand, I noticed that all 20 cash are overstruck and are not well researched. One of the 20 cash look like a crude fake but it seems to be a legitimate variety. The 10 cash on the other hand all seem to be struck on fresh planchets. I ended up keeping them all as I realized some of these coins are in much better condition that I&#039;ve seen in the market. One of them is double struck which is pretty unusual and the other has a clean die crack however poorly conserved. Before you criticize about the green verdigris, they have already gone through a few rounds of Verdicare so it&#039;s the best they can be. They were much worse, believe it or not</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples of before and after:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://gxseries.com/numis/preservation/china/uighurstan/preservation_uighurstan.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gxseries.com/numis/preservation/china/uighurstan/preservation_uighurstan.htm" rel="nofollow">http://gxseries.com/numis/preservation/china/uighurstan/preservation_uighurstan.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Prices today are just so absurd - who knows if the CCP is just hunting them down to just melt them from existing. Who knows, if it keeps going up at a rocket pace, I can sell and head for retirement! (dreaming). Better close up photos soon...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gxseries.com/ct/uighurstan_f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gxseries.com/ct/uighurstan_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your example![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
