gold tael from king fook

Lancastercoin

I bought a boat shaped gold tael (37.43g) today and was wondering if anyone here knows somewhere that these can be shipped to at or over the melt price of the gold. The piece is similar to this one but with one diestamp on the face instead of the three hand punches:

The company that produced mine, King Fook (景&#31119, is a reputable firm that makes kilo bars for delivery on the Hong Kong exchange among other things. Does anyone know someplace to ship these to? I am lazy just using PandaAmerica's picture, but if a pic of mine will be useful I can take one. Thanks for any advice!

Hello, Lancastercoin! I do believe we have met before! Did you make it to the Springs?

Hi Tom: yes, I went that Saturday. Bought many sovereigns, one PCGS35 1826 sovereign, a nice Anne Vigo halfcrown, some other choice to decent non-brit stuff and plenty of junk. I'm the "buy it all" guy for many of our local dealers so I get the real junk. Most of it goes right into the acid or the crucible though, so it's always nice to buy! I actually need some fine gold right now so I suppose my lazy tael is going to the crucible tomorrow. I thought I was going to sell a Vespasian Aureus that I have but it didn't work out. It's a shame that our next local show on Aug 8 is during the ANA, isn't it?

Are you going to ANA? Wish I could be there, but there is work to be done. Besides that, the mother-in-law arrives today for a 5 week visit, so I'm being fitted for chains that will keep me around here.

Where's the next local show at? Cheyenne?
