元旦過後,隨著禮品金的回流,金銀幣二級市場的交易逐漸紅火,但假幣升級事件也隨之而來:熊貓投資幣、歷史人物紀念幣中都出現了真金真銀造假幣的案例。專業人士提醒收藏菜鳥,要用放大鏡關注錢幣細節,買“熊貓”先看“眼”與“毛”,有建築圖案先看欄杆間距,挑人物幣先看頭髮是否均勻;另外,但凡紀念品,不是有發行量就有收藏價值,仍應關注“料價比”。


  廣州市場:真材料造假幣


本週,記者走訪了廣州市的錢幣二手市場,不少檔主都投訴:一些自稱是個人投資者的人拿著真金真銀打造的假幣,前來檔口沽賣。比如說多位檔主都遇到過1公斤重量的辛亥革命100週年紀念“銀幣”,浮雕為孫中山頭像。該套紀念幣是2011年10月在廣州上市的,至今仍是二手市場中的主力交易品種。但翻看當年中國人民銀行的發行記錄,從來不曾發行過1公斤重量的金幣,該套紀念幣中,面值、重量最大的銀幣只有1盎司。廣東地質科學院珠寶檢測中心曾將該類假幣一一過秤後用光譜機器仔細查驗,檢測結果頗為意外,四分之一盎司重量的假金幣完全是九九純金打造,材料絕對不含糊,沒有任何成色不足的現象;而類似辛亥革命1公斤假幣的大規格假“銀幣”,含銀量甚至略高於人民銀行發行的(99.9%含銀量)真品。


廣東粵寶的錢幣分析師王超宇告訴記者:“由於央行發行的辛亥100週年假幣在我國台灣省也十分熱銷,一些台灣的地下作坊大量偽造了大規格產品,背後提供支持的都是珠寶行與金行,不乏知名的大財團。按照國際現貨金價,1公斤白銀的材料價格目前在6500元上下,加上材料加工費用大概需要7000元;而在近三年的市場中,所有央行發行的1公斤真銀幣,上市價都已超過了2萬元,多數價格在4萬元以上。台灣造假者將其標價為1.5萬元一枚,就很能吸引菜鳥眼球;而造假者追求的正是1.5萬元與7000元之間的差價利潤。”由此可見,這個造假成本也相當高。


  教你辨真偽熊貓幣


熊貓真幣最重要的標誌是,無論金銀其眼睛處都會凹凸有致,眼眶凹陷,眼珠突出。用肉眼對著太陽光即可觀察到這些明顯特徵,使用放大鏡看得更加清晰。而假熊貓幣的眼睛處沒有這些明顯的起伏。


其次,所有熊貓幣的背後均是中國北京天壇的浮雕景觀,真幣的欄杆分佈均勻,距離清晰;假幣的欄杆每根之間的距離不一樣。對於直徑在3厘米以上的較大規格的熊貓幣,我們目測即可看清距離;對於3厘米以下的小規格品種,我們可用游標卡尺丈量。


再次,將熊貓幣對著光源,正面圖案上的熊貓毛髮清晰可見,真幣毛髮均勻、厚度一致、顏色協調,假幣毛髮不均勻、生硬不自然。


最後,“鏡面反射”是內地國營造幣廠的“拳頭”工藝之一,熊貓幣的反面,天壇圖案下的背景都被製作成了明顯的“鏡面反射”效果。廣州二級市場的檔主們介紹:他們發現的假熊貓幣中,多數沒有做過鏡面反射的圖案。

當心熊貓銀幣有李鬼




晨報記者劉志飛(理財主筆)

頗受投資收藏愛好者喜愛的2013年熊貓銀幣剛上市就有“李鬼”出現。造假者並不吝惜材料,選擇99.9%的足銀製造熊貓銀幣,但製作工藝還是與真幣存在差別。業內專家提醒,為了規避風險,市民購買2013年版的熊貓金銀幣可以通過圖案細節來分辨真假,去正規的專營店和銀行購買也比較放心。

國內多個市場出現假幣

人民銀行日前發行的2013年版熊貓金銀幣剛在滬上面市一周左右,市場上就已經出現假冒的熊貓銀幣了。記者昨日在滬上最大的郵幣卡市場盧工了解到,近日已有多個商戶遇到有客戶來轉讓2013年版的熊貓銀幣,行家一看就知道是假幣。盧工一位不願意透露姓名的商戶對記者表示,據他所知,目前上海、北京、廣州等國內幾個大型郵幣卡交易市場都已經出現了假熊貓幣的身影。其中有一批假幣用的是“真材實料”,拿到檢測中心去檢驗後發現,這批假幣是用純度99.9%的白銀打造。該人士透露,由於1盎司熊貓銀幣頗受投資收藏愛好者喜愛,禮品需求較大。不法分子只賺取材料的溢價部分就已經數額不菲。如目前白銀價格約為每克6.4元人民幣,1盎司白銀約為31.1克,因此原料價格為199元,而目前1盎司熊貓銀幣的市場價在290元左右,利潤率接近1/3。由於熊貓銀幣發行量比較大,作假的水平比較高,新手很難分辨。

此外,該人士透露,廣州市場上除了假的熊貓金銀幣外,還出現了假的貴金屬紀念幣,如有商戶在廣州遇到過1公斤重的辛亥革命100週年紀念銀幣。事實上,人民銀行在2011年是曾發行過辛亥革命100週年紀念金銀幣,但銀幣是1盎司的,沒有發行過1公斤的辛亥百年銀幣。

仔細比較選對渠道

面對日益壯大的金銀幣投資收藏群體,不少新人感嘆,怎樣才能避免買到“李鬼”金銀幣呢?業內專家表示,市場上儘管出現了假幣,但投資收藏愛好者也不必過於緊張。因為熊貓投資幣和金銀紀念幣都是人民銀行統一發行的,製造假幣不同於其它的商品製假,不法分子會面臨被嚴懲的風險,因此這只是個別現象。

既然出現假幣了,我們也有應對之策。廣州某媒體援引業內人士介紹,這批假的熊貓幣與真幣在熊貓眼睛、背面的欄杆以及毛髮處理方面都有區別。熊貓真幣無論金銀,其眼睛處都會凹凸有致,眼眶凹陷,眼珠突出。用肉眼對著太陽光即可觀察到這些明顯特徵。而假熊貓幣的眼睛處沒有這些明顯的起伏。其次,所有熊貓幣的背後均是中國北京天壇的浮雕景觀,真幣的欄杆分佈均勻,距離清晰;假幣的欄杆每根之間的距離不一樣。另外,將熊貓幣對著光源,正面圖案上的熊貓毛髮清晰可見,真幣毛髮均勻、厚度一致、顏色協調,假幣毛髮不均勻、生硬不自然。最後,“鏡面反射”是內地國營造幣廠的“拳頭”工藝之一,熊貓幣的反面,天壇圖案下的背景都被製作成了明顯的“鏡面反射”效果。廣州二級市場的檔主們介紹:他們發現的假熊貓幣中,多數沒做過鏡面反射的圖案。

業內專家表示,對於集幣新手,選擇正規的購買途徑也很重要。目前多家銀行都在代銷熊貓金銀幣,上海的幾家中國金幣總公司特許經銷商和直營店也不可能出現假貨,盧工市場選擇正規的商戶,一般也沒有問題。如果是不知名的網站、電話或個人身份兜售熊貓幣的,就要當心了。

IS TED BUTLER’S SILVER PANIC IMMINENT? APPLE CONTRACTOR CLAIMS NEW IMACPRODUCTION DELAYED OVER SILVER SHORTAGE!





Silver expert Ted Butler has long predicted and awaited an eventual industrial shortage of physical silver, and a resulting panic silver buying that terminates the bullion bank cartel’s manipulation of the silver market.  

Butler may be about to be finally proven correct, if an Apple contractor is right that Apple has delayed production on the new 27” iMacs over an industrial silver shortage in China.With the US Mint sold out of Silver Eagles and production shut down for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, and shortages of nearly all retail silver products rapidly developing along with spiking physical premiums, it appears that a widespread retail, and perhaps industrial physical silver shortage is developing and escalating by the hour.


Submitted by Bally A.
I work as a sales contractor for a local independent Apple dealer. I don’ know how many of you closely watch Apple delivery dates, but we received a consignment of the new 21.5″ iMacs and then they dried up. We haven’t received any of the new 27″ iMacs. Our shelves are bare with lots of backorders. I’ve never seen this before.

Apple announced the new iMacs on Oct. 23 2012. http://www.neowin.net/news/apple-announces-new-imac

It’s been 10 weeks now since any 27″ iMacs have been shipped and Apple states that another 3 to 4 week delivery for those models, if you order today.

Apple states that there are “production problems” causing the delay.
Why? Based on the evidence, in my opinion there is simply not enough silver available to produce them.

The new “Iris” screens use a lot, lot more silver than the older models, including the new iPads. All the silver is going to produce the iPad 4′s which, of course, use less silver per unit. This creates the illusion that all is right except for a few “production glitches”.

Why is a silver shortage the likely culprit for the production delays? The 21.5″ iMac screens are essentially the same as the 27″ screens. Inside, there is little difference other than the width of the systems where you have enough width to have 4 RAM slots and thus upgrade the the RAM. There are no RAM slots on the new 21.5″ iMac, i.e. you get what you bought re. RAM.

There are no shortages of HD’s CPU chips etc. If they can produce the 21.5″ iMacs, they can produce the 27″ iMacs, or else why would Apple announce them and then have almost a FULL ONE FISCAL QUARTER DELAY in manufacturing and delivery???

The only logical answer, is that the brighter screens require substantially more silver than the earlier models. That is also why there was a $100 price increase on most models of the iMac.
Apple manufacturers its iMacs and iPads in China, and China is now importing massive amounts of silver, where once a few years ago it was a net exporter- and this in spite of a huge increase in domestic silver production!

Of course, Apple doesn’t and won’t announce a shortage of Silver for fear that silver prices would skyrocket and even a $100 price increase would be insufficient to cover a large increase in silver prices and thus they would lose profit margins. They are already on the hook for a massive amount of the Iris based iMacs at a their current price point. Should silver prices skyrocket for any or all of the reasons we know, Apple may be on the hook of fulfilling the Back Orders at no profit or even at a loss.

It doesn’t take about 12 weeks these days to correct a “production ‘problem’”, especially when Apple had already announced the launch and its sister system already rolled off the assembly line, but in limited quantities. The only explanation I can think of for the production delay is that there is a massive shortage of silver to make the brighter screens.
