Shanghai mint Ancient Egyptian Civilisation 2016 high relief  brass medal.

Picked up this 1/4 sovereign, does anyone know where its from?  I thought a tristan da cunha as this portrait of the queen looks like theirs but i can't find a reference to it
edit: Just noticed the TDC on the obverse . Would still be interested if someone could find a mintage figure for me!
Looks much nicer in hand than photos, its pretty small and i rushed the photos just now
 


 

 

The 2016 releases of the gold dime, quarter, and half dollar needed a reunion with their big sister.    An absolutely stunning $20 gold ultra high relief coin.

What are the red spots? Not received mine yet but I wouldn't be happy if it came with a red spot...will that lower the value?

Some god and silver notes for my collection.  Parcel took 19 days instead of the usual 7-10 so had me worried.  
Greeting the New Century 2g Silver.  I already have a graded one but wanted a RAW.  It has taken a while but finally got one.  Still after the elusive gold one

 
Nanjing Mint 6g Monkey.  I already have the 5g version but this one has a different design and is a little smaller but comes in the same packaging.  I've included a comparison with the 5g.

 
CGCI 2g Lunar Sheep/God of Wealth gold note.  Comes with packaging from China Minsheng Bank so not sure if they've commissioned it from CGCI or whether they're repackaging and distributing a product already distributed by CGCI.  There are 2 COAs but they're in Chinese.

 
Finally I have a 1g Gold and 5g Silver Year of the Monkey notes.  They came loose with no COAs so have no idea where they have come from.

Copper spots as they are known can come and go on older Gold coins, and yes they do reduce the value of the coin but not as much as a scratch or a polished coin would.

Spotting is no where close to the silver milking/spotting problem.  You see it a fair bit on old Pandas but unlike silver spotting, it can be removed.  I've heard there have been instances where the spots has gone away.  The gold spotting is also just a few spots here and there whereas on silver it can afffect the whole coin.
