In the ten years since China Guardian's first Stamps and Coins Department auction in 1996, the department has constantly set and then broken numerous auction records, including: a Qing Dynasty Guangxu Reign Gold Coin auctioned at 302,500 RMB, a world record for gold Chinese coins; a Complete Collection of Chinese Banknotes Archived by the American Banknote Company, which set a world record for Chinese currency at 3.168 million RMB; a Red Revenue Stamp Surcharged One Dollar, auctioned at a world record 2.2 million RMB; and a 1942 Four Stamp Block of Draft Five-Pointed Star Opt with Characters that sold at 2.2 million RMB.
Aside from the major Spring and Fall Auctions, the Stamps and Coins Department also holds smaller auctions, designed especially for mid-range collectors and aficionados of stamps, ancient coins, and bronze mirrors, so that all might take pleasure in collecting these rich pieces of history. |
