Niewmismatic Error Coins

Hi Dickson,
To the best of our knowledge these coins were quite commonly sold at departmental or shops dealing with china products during the 80's and 90s.
Back then, China was still grappling with its economy and so we believe many of these products including these rare proof coins were exported out to countries like Malaysia where the purchasing power were comparatively better.
Now, its a different story.
Within a short span of time, China's economy has grown by leaps and bounds, thus greatly enhancing the purchasing power of its people.
And it was reported that only 10,000 sets of the 1982 proofs have been issued. Even less are the 1986 proof sets. Only 660 sets were reportedly issued.
And just imagine the number of serious collectors in China, now.
Haha, maybe thats why Malaysia is in a way gifted because of the numerous early chinese migrants which indirectly made available many precious products from China during the early years like liu-bao tea, jingdezhen porcelins, stamps, coins, etc.
Now the cash rich Chinese are coming to our country to buy back all these vintage products.
Hehe, these 1982 proof coin sets were selling at around RM15 to RM17 plus only during the 80s and 90s at the departmental stores or chained shops dealing with chinese products throughout the country.
So who knows which country's products will be next?
Haha, just our wild guess.
China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia!
And who knows even Malaysia, haha.
Just our two cents.
Thanks a lot, Dickson :)

Dear whycollect,
Yes,I totally agreed with you.Those years their coins were just FENS(CENTS),today it worth QIANS(THOUSAND)!
I do have a XIAO HONG BAO-ZHU NI(RED CLAY)SHUI-PING TEA POT inherited from my father in 70's,still UNC,those day it was imported at 50 cents,today someone offered me for 5 thousand Ringgit,stunned me!

Hi Dickson,
Please be careful about your Zhuni shu-pin.
If you've not been using it for a long time, don't apply hot water onto the pot immediately.
It may crack especially when it has not been used for a long time.
In fact, these old zhuni teapots are very prone to cracking which may be one of the reasons they now become rarities much sought after by collectors.
Many would crack when fired under the not so advance kilns at that time.
Our opinionated view is that it is better not to use it at all, and just keep it as a collector's item.
The risk of cracking is always there as far as these old zhuni shui-pins are concern.
Haha, back in those early days, these teapots can be seen selling by the side of the streets.
Like one of our dealers used to joke, junk also can sell lor, haha.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)

Dear whycollect,Thank you for your kind advice.I do aware of that.My friend who did the offered keep reminding me not to do so.Haha! I think he is more Kan-cung than me!

Hi Dickson,
There's a saying that no vintage yixing teapots collection is complete without a genuine vintage zhuni shui-pin.
Haha, cannot blame your good friend for being kan-cung lor.
Honestly, just like rare coins or even our precious little error coins, haha, one item gone is a piece of history gone forever.
Congratulations Dickson :D
