<p>[QUOTE=&quot;morrigan9999, post: 1340148, member: 35390&quot;]Hi. </p><p><br /></p><p>Was wondering if anyone has any insight on this commemorative coin from Taiwan. It&#039;s a 1 oz 99.99 pure gold coin commemorating the inauguration of the 10th president and vice president of ROC/Taiwan.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received it years back as a gift and am looking to possibly sell it but want to get an idea of the authenticity/value of this coin first. </p><p><br /></p><p>Searching the World Coin Catalog comes up with only a silver version of this coin but the catalog also doesn&#039;t list the gold version of the coin for the current president/vice president either (and it&#039;s available from the Central Mint of China website):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cmc.gov.tw/product.jsp?ptype=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cmc.gov.tw/product.jsp?ptype=4" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #a6c720">http://www.cmc.gov.tw/product.jsp?ptype=4</span></a></p><p><br /></p><p>And there is mention of a gold coin commemorating said inauguration (see following links):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WDP/is_2000_May_1/ai_61968231/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WDP/is_2000_May_1/ai_61968231/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #a6c720">http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WDP/is_2000_May_1/ai_61968231/</span></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Taiwan+to+issue+commemorative+coin+for+May+20+inauguration.-a061968231" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Taiwan+to+issue+commemorative+coin+for+May+20+inauguration.-a061968231" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #a6c720">http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Taiwan+to+issue+commemorative+coin+for+May+20+inauguration.-a061968231</span></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also not sure what the deal with the crystal display case is. Apparently 500 of these were gifted to dignitaries and that is where this originally came from.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]154127.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154128.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154129.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154130.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]154131.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
