IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
CHINA: AE charm (21.83g), CCH-1776, 46mm, Lei Ling "Daoist curse charm", lei ting sha gui xiang jing / zhan yao bi xie yong bao / shen qing feng / tai shang lao jun ji ru lü ling chi ("God of Thunder, clear out and kill the ghosts and send down purity, behead the demons, expel the evil and keep us eternally safe. Let this command from Lao Zi be executed quickly") // eight trigrams with their respective names (qian kan gen zhen xun li kun dui), spot of discoloration on reverse, F-VF. The large characters at the extreme right and extreme left of the obverse are not Chinese, but rather Daoist "magic writing." Regarding the very large character on the left, the upper half is "magic writing" for the Chinese character lei, which means "thunder" and refers to the "God of Thunder." The lower part is "magic writing" for the Chinese character ling, which means "to order." This charm type was likely cast in the Qing dynasty.
