In a high-profile online auction this year, a 1985 $1 coin sold for a staggering 3The transaction of 2.55 million yuan has attracted great attention from the majority of collectors. This seemingly ordinary coin hides such a huge value that people can't help but have a strong interest in the coin bank at home.
However, it is important to note that there is not just one version of the 1985 1 Yuan coin, but two different versions, and their collectible value is very different. So, which version of the '85 $1 coin fetched so much? Let's unravel the mystery.
First, let's review the history of the Great Wall 1 Yuan coin. Since 1980, China has issued the Great Wall 1 Yuan coin, which is known for its exquisite design and unique coin design. Although it looks similar to a commemorative coin, it is actually a circulating coin. The Great Wall 1 Yuan coin was issued for seven consecutive years, with 1985 being the second most widely minor, reaching 16.8 million pieces. Therefore, the 1 yuan coin of this year is relatively common in the market and may be found in ordinary people's homes.
At present, the market for an old 85-year-old 1 yuan coin in good condition has reached about 60 yuan, while the brand new coin is more sought-after, with a market price of hundreds of yuan. Still, these regular versions of these coins are still quite inferior to the one that sold for them.
So, which version of the 85-year-old $1 coin will fetch **? The answer is the refined version. Proof coins have an extremely limited mintage of 4,825 pieces, making them highly collectible. The mirror-smooth surface of these Proof coins shows a high level of craftsmanship with clearly visible designs and text. Proof coins are undoubtedly more precious and rare than regular versions of coins.
In that auction earlier this year, a proof version of the '85-year-old $1 coin sold for 32.55 million yuan of ** transaction. This coin has a mirror-smooth face, which is typical of Proof coins. In addition, Proof coins are often fitted with beautiful outer packaging and are bound in sets with other coins of the same year. This packaging not only enhances the coin's ornamentality, but also further highlights its rarity.
Of course, for most collectors, finding a proof version of the $85 coin is undoubtedly a daunting task. So, what other years are worth paying attention to in the ordinary Great Wall 1 Yuan coin? The answer is the 1 Yuan coin from 1980.
The coins of this year were issued in relatively small quantities, and after years of circulation and wear and tear, the number of surviving coins was very limited. So, if you can find a good 1980 $1 coin, it will be worth a lot of money in the market.
When collecting coins, in addition to paying attention to the year and version of the coin, it is also necessary to pay attention to its condition and state of preservation. A coin that is in good condition and well preserved tends to have a higher market value.
Therefore, it is also very important for the majority of collectors to learn to distinguish the authenticity and condition of coins.
