NJcoppers Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 02/03/2018 02:23 am I believe this to be a Hong Kong gold Tael. 24K Weight: 37.45g Would like to find out if this coin has numismatic value (besides bullion value)? Also, what year is it? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's one example sold a while back - it has different label but is of similar type. https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...06&lot=22093 My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

NJcoppers Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 02/03/2018 3:19 pm Thank you for the info and the link. Apparently these are considered "coins" and as such they are graded as a "coin"! That's what may explain why one graded as AU sold for $2,220, about $600 more than bullion value. I wonder what is the criteria to grading these bullions? That's where I can see some gap between the bullion value and the numismatic value. I paid $1,400 for it. Edited by NJcoppers 02/03/2018 3:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NJcoppers Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 02/03/2018 11:22 pm I bought it at an online auction. I bid upto near the bullion value. If worth more than that, it would be a bonus. They test all gold and most gemstones using a third party authenticator. This was found to be 24K. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 6:02 pm I'm reluctant to call this numismatics - these didn't really circulate as these meant to be bullion and they were not struck / cast by official mints. That said, the historical importance of this cannot be understated.
