<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Muzyck, post: 3136708, member: 83778&quot;]As a young collector, the coins of Sinkiang or &quot;Chinese Turkestan&quot; as listed in my go to &quot;Catalog Of Modern World Coins&quot; left me fascinated. Examples were not something that you found in the junk bins of your local coin store or even as part of the more expensive offers.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first examples were purchased from Scott Semans in the early 80&#039;s. If I recall the market opened up due to economic reforms in China and the more common varieties became easier to obtain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have quite a few in my collection now. Unfortunately one that I have been looking for many years now was offered to me earlier this year but got &quot;lost&quot; when it passed into the custody of the Customs and Border Protection process at J.F.K. airport in New York. A &quot;registered&quot; item that disappeared without a trace.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the first Sinkiang coin I purchased. A silver half miscal.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]801081[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]801082[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A silver 5 Miscal dated 1322AH, 1903AD</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]801083[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]801084[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>10 Cash</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]801087[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]801088[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
