Good day fellow numismatists!

Our passion for Chinese coins led us to develop Chinese Coins Live.

The web service and supplemental PDF price guide, offer the first structured data for Chinese coin collectors and investors of it's kind. Our database updates daily with the all latest sales from around the world (from over 100 marketplaces and auction houses).

Our web portal built from the ground up with state of the art tools to exploit and simplify this unparalleled wealth of information.

This includes:

  • reports
  • charts
  • data tables
  • coin in auction right now
  • coins trending up and down
  • watchlists
  • my collection
  • latest news and metal prices
  • and more...

Right now the market for Chinese coins is about ~10,000 sales reported sales/ month. Each sale is correctly assigned to it’s exact classification. That’s more 5,500 Chinese coin, medal and set types.

As things stand right now, our database has 360,000+ sales that have cumulatively sold for more than $325m.

We believe in market transparency and convenience. This is especially important when spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on coins. That's why all sales on Chinese Coins Live are verifiable at the click of a 'gavel icon' where it will forward you to the actual sale page. If the sale was in another currency, it was converted using the exchange rates from the day of sale.

Alternative price guides are always playing catch up and don't show where they are getting the data from. The sheer quantity of sales is impossible for anyone to keep up with.. except us. When you rely on outdated information, you miss out!

Our breakthrough developments in structured coin data are poised to be deployed beyond just Chinese coins including, at some point, a free site.

I also wanted Chinese Coins Live to offer a suite of services that support all levels of interest. From the mildly curious to the day trading coin dealer. That's why we publish a free PDF price guide on the panda coin series with limited pricing data and access to all census and pop reports at NGC and PCGS.

Personally, I have used Chinese Coins Live to make money buying and selling coins as well as saving me several times from pulling the trigger on an item that CCL helped me determine was too expensive. All of this information is available to anyone.

If there are any questions on CCL, Chinese coins, Chinese coins pricing - I'll do my best to help!

Sincerely,
Richard Blair

    Pretty impressive site. What are the date ranges for Chinese coins in your database? Is it only modern?

    Hello @pruebas, sure, many coin dealers trade coins every day. Nothing new there.

    Our resources are there to provide a new level of market transparency and change the paradigm so no one needs to rely on outdated and often unsubstantiated data. It's not only for coin dealers or day traders, it is accessible to anyone.

    Thanks @MrBreeze !

    We have integrated older Chinese coins so this includes Republic, Empire and Provincial coins.

    At this time, our earliest dated is: 1856 Tael China Shanghai L&M-590 Medal with our most recent being current 2017 issues.

    Top 3 Coins (by # of sales):

    1934 S$1 Yr23 China L&M-110 Y-345 Junk Coin - 801 sales records
    1914 S$1 Yr3 China L&M-63 Coin - 238 sales records
    1927 S$1 China L&M-49 Memento 6 Pointed Stars Coin - 213 sales records

    If you like, we can post some screenshots of data tables and charts for any one of these coins.

    I have a great interest in Chinese coins but people should be aware that the site linked is for profit. There is apparently a free 30 day service that requires a phone number. I might have not posted this but I got a security certificate alert that presented a small problem to resolve.

    My interest in the Chinese coins is mostly in modern base metal and the older cash coins so the guides etc probably would have been of less interest to me.

    paying subscribers support the work that goes into keeping track of all the Chinese coin sales that happen along with other operational expenses e.g. server costs, work of our small team, marketing etc.. That said we produce free materials and the Chinese Coins Guide starts at $9.95/mo. If anyone would like to see a copy, I can post one here.

    this may be a browser compatibility issue if you have not updated in a long time. You are the first and only to provide this feedback. Can you send me a private message with the details of what you experienced, something sounds off.> @cladking said:

    We have modern base metal coins - fen, jiao etc..
