You have 20 minutes after posting to edit the post, after that, it remains as is forever. 

You can always post an addendum; I guess to show how imperfect we are!

I need to take more photos as i have several non conforming collectibles.   

This is my favorite Crystal.  Is the Taiwan or Central Mint 1/2 oz silver Fu Lu Shou encased?   I doubt the entire production run was in Crystal.   Year?  Mintage of Crystal?   It sits by my computer and the light flows thru it giving off colors and bling.  Neighbor loves it too.  High price on ebay until seller lowered price to about $100 and took my offer.  Only one I have seen on ebay and a great gift (for me).   About 3 in tall, so small but very heavy.   Glass or plastic crystal?  Any information?....

For Chinese coin/medal collectors we at times see other Chinese collectibles.  They are cheap so why not add them to the collection?   It is obvious the USD/economy is intentionally being destroyed.  Planned high gas prices will do that.  Photos here of billboards in China that say the Yuan is the next world reserve currency.   Gold is taking center stage soon and China owns the gold.  At some point the Yuan and Chinese collectibles will see rise in value.  I was told years ago by a expert that the Chinese collectible market will take off and we see that w/ Vintage silver dollars today.   Here are some of the non conforming coins/medals i like to collect at times. 

MTB Ridgy Crystal Cube w/ box/coa.  Is Crystal plastic or glass?   I was told it was first Crystal w/ 500 mint.  True?
 Year?  The Panda has mirror legs like early year pre 95 pandas.  A top Chinese collector sold one on ebay recently when he cleaned out his closet.  Why would a top collector hold this MTB Crystal?   Rare to see Crystal on US ebay but some are in China.  They all sell eventually and cheap today.....

Mexico is very safe, it is propaganda that doesn't want you to spend your tourist dollars over there so they create an illusion of fear.  I know people that operate real estate in Mexico City and they consider Chicago more dangerous. Chicago has 80 murders every 45 days.  I try to take the family to Cancun once a year, even during covid years. 

Somebody needs to create a marketing program for US Hispanic community, it doesn't take much to mop up 500 mintage coins.  I also think Mexico's currency will outperform the USD over the next 10 years. 

I hope nobody fell for the 8% a month UST and Terra Luna Ponzi scheme this week.  A coin collector explained this opportunity to me last fall, he said I could earn 100% annualized risk-free, I didn't believe him despite his account increasing 10-15% a month without any trading, just buy and hold.  From Monday to Friday he lost $700K, almost his entire net worth.  It was too good to be true and in a few days, investors in those risk-free stable coins lost $60B.

I would never travel to Mexico as Charlie Min documentaries and online photos show many innocent dead in gruesome
fashion.  Will not travel to Chicago, NY, California, Southern States, Portland OR or Seattle WA.  Even our Governor of OR was voted the worst of all 50 states.  Our oil, diesel is shipped to Europe.  Our food to China.  Our baby formula to the border.  More debt too to destroy our economy/USD.  All planned.   Watch "2000 mules"....
