Numismatic / collectible coins




較早時分,我也提及紀念幣出手問題. 這亦是咱們入手前要訂下的. 就趁放假用手寫板畫畫.

紀念幣較Bullion coins更難甩手. 門路窄, 小圈子, 就是過十萬一個手袋更靚都有人買, 但買嘅人唔多, 亦要睇有無環境配合, 總不成走入一處從不認識的工廈買吧.

以前有個阿鋒的人經常在Joe blog 白銀戰隊FB處放賣Maple silver coins.那時銀價高企, 賣的也是大路, 都好像賣了一段日子. 最終怎樣就不知曉了.

, 可嘗試 ebay, amazon Yahoo 等拍賣網站.
但事前準備功夫不少, 亦視乎賣家聲望, Positive feedback, 年資等. 一切講求[]. 外國賣家試過買家話 "收唔到" 一句, 咁就 , 郵遞, 賣金 一切皆空... 要知道外國 customer 權益之大, 非我等 HK人能明白. 買家風險之高... 九成假貨就出自PRC and SAR. 同實物不附, 穿崩甩漏...無窮無儘.

錢幣商賺取的差價應不便宜, 不景也是一門生意, 成本不輕, 一切就是從羊毛處來...

一言敝之- 唔予賣, 心理上會好過點.
要賣就買金, 99 好過9999!

杜蘭朵


Fairy Tales 之中, 最唯喜愛的就是這一坆-杜蘭朵.  第一眼就被其公主神情所吸引, 直像有眼神交流. 其背面也相當有鑑賞價值. 此幣的一大特色, 也就是Honson經常提及的壓紋深, 甚有立體感. At the bottom – "ДВАЦЦАЦЬ РУБЛЁЎ" (TWENTY ROUBLES)
