Commemorative coins for the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 have been officially issued. Are they collectible?

Legal tender has the greatest appreciation ability.

A collection expert in Beijing said that precious metal products should have real collection value and appreciation space. After all, they have the basic value of raw materials. Lin Weixiong, manager of Guangtian Collection, said that there are many kinds of Olympic collections, and collectors should choose their favorite fields for collection. Legal tender is recognized as the most authoritative in the industry. Legal tender refers to the currency with face value issued by central banks in various countries and circulated in the market, while legal tender in the Olympic theme refers to gold and silver coins and circulating commemorative coins. At present, these two varieties have increased greatly in the market.

Recognition issued by an authoritative organization.

However, not all precious metal collections have room for appreciation. Yin Min reminded collectors that other precious metal collections should meet three criteria at the same time to be considered as having investment value.

First of all, it must be issued by an authoritative organization. At present, the authoritative publishers recognized in the industry are China Gold Coin Corporation and China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, and their products can basically be recognized nationwide. If a collection is only recognized in a certain region and cannot be circulated in the whole country, not only its liquidity will be greatly reduced, but also its ability to maintain and increase value will be greatly affected.

Secondly, the collection must be worth the money. If the cost of a precious metal collection is 1500 yuan and the retail guide price is as high as 8000 yuan or even 10000 yuan, its future value-added space will be greatly overdrawn and compressed in advance. Only collections with a reasonable ratio of selling price to product cost have room for appreciation. It is more reasonable if the cost price 1500 yuan's collection retail guide price is above 3,000 yuan. At present, the retail guide price of some gold collections in the market is as high as 400 yuan/gram, which is obviously very unreasonable compared with the gold price of 170 yuan/gram, and will inevitably affect the appreciation space of this collection in the future.

The size of the topic determines the appreciation space of the collection.

The third criterion is that the circulation should be moderate, and the size of the topic and the collection group should be measured. Teacher Yin Min gave an example to illustrate that the circulation of the first group of silver coins, the most popular Olympic precious metal commemorative coin on the market at present, is 6,543,800+6,000 sets. Because it is the legal tender of the country, there is a huge demand for it all over the country, and now its price has risen to 2900 yuan. If the circulation of 1.6 million corresponds to precious metal collections, this circulation may be "the amount of days".

In addition, some market participants revealed that due to the huge business opportunities of the Olympic theme, there are many counterfeit Olympic collections in the market, and even the first and second sets of Olympic precious metal commemorative coins have fakes on the market, and their certificates are even more confusing. Moreover, fakes that only dared to appear at "fake prices" in the past are now safely appearing at real prices. Marketers remind buyers that they must go to special dealers or reputable enterprises to buy Olympic collectibles.
