Damn, that's one expensive coin ! ๐Ÿ˜„

Since I started collecting silver and shit google suggests me all kinds of silver/gold numismatic news stories.. Usually I don't even click them, cause it's the same boring shit again and again, but sometimes something pops up that piques my interest..

And this is one of them!

Take a look at this little beauty that got auctioned a few days ago

Can you guess how much it went for?

630 thousand fucking dollars ๐Ÿ˜„

A vintage Chinese coin certified by Numismatic Guaranty Companyยฎ (NGCยฎ) realized an impressive $630,000 in a recent Heritage Auctions sale. source

God damn... I really wonder how rich some people are. Most people wouldn't be able to afford it even after selling their organs. And yet, somewhere there is a rick dick throwing 630 k to buy it...and probably stash it somewhere never to be seen by the light of sun again ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜‚

As for the coin itself, it is a Long-Whiskered Dragon Silver Dollar, one of the most sought after vintage Chinese coins.

This particular one was struck at the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 and has a pattern by Luigi Giorgi (whoever the fuck that is) which makes it one of the most sought of late Imperial silver Dollars. And of course it's super rare.

After doing a bit of digging on these coins, it looks like they all are pretty rare, at least in this condition.. They often go in auctions from 500k to over a million fucking dollars. A piece.

Here's one that went for over 2 mil

Or this one (sorry no pic) that closed at almost 3 million! That can get you a mansion, with lifetime maintance slaves. But instead someone bought a coin, geez ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah... I won't be stacking any of those beauties any time soon, lmao. Perhaps @dbooster feels generous enough to gift me? That would be nice ๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s a great looking coin. Iโ€™ll guess that it went for 25K. But Iโ€™m no expert on coins from China.

When you have that much cash you don't care how much stuff costs apparently!

Yes these Qing Dragons are very pricey I have seen a few cheaper ones in fair to fine condition some with Chop marks. Prices still in the nosebleed range. This would be up there as a Christmas Wish list coin for 2025.

Even if they hit $100/dogecoin by Christmas 2024 I think my HK Connection could dig up a coin or two. I've already got a few special coins to watch out for.
I'm already waiting the arrival of a Christmas Wish list coin from him, a coin I thought I could never get but it's held ransom by the CBSA.

Wow that is really expensive but I still don't know if I trust Heritage Auctions after Karl Jobst exposed their market manipulation in the retro video game market.

Now that's a lot of dough for a coin that could simply slip from your pockets and end up in a drainage pipe.

630k... How much is a kidney again?
