Silver Wutai medals

[mr-dead]

Love these 80g silver medals, carry quite a premium but the high relief design and level of detail is amazing -

Anyone here have any of the set, I believe the set is up to medal 3 currently.

 

Think im going to have a hunt around and pull the trigger on one.

Fantastic craftsmanship on them; the premiums make wince though.

I'm a member of the Wuntang, sorry Wutai Klan 

 

I have number two in the series which I believe is going to be a series of four and is due to finish next year.

 

The pictures are stock photos from the person who I bought this from ( LuckpawnShop). As ever when buying from the PRC the known providence is a must. LuckPawnShop came recommended from a number of sources, and I have subsequently bought a couple of other items off him. He is also mentioned in the video 

 

Always delivers, but you have to be patient with him as his english is not great and I don't think he holds much stock. So deliveries are usually circa a month 

 

Can pay by PayPal, so  you do have the protect. He also trades on Ebay.

 

These medallions have to be up with the very best when it comes to numismatic quality, and are first and foremost a work of art. I don't know how they do it, but look around the hand and sword and how there seems to be additional definition by not only the use of relief but also a solidification of the antique finish into a black outline around the relief parts 

 

If you do buy you won't be disappointed

I know this is sad, but anything from China that isn't hugely well known like pandas, just makes me worry. I am sure there is nothing wrong at all and they are legit, but I just cant bring myself to trust them to be what they say they are
