Tiffany colored glass inlaid coins are one of the most popular and scarce series in the contemporary international coin collection field. From 2004 to 2010, a total of six coins were issued, each of which was sold out immediately upon market launch. Except for collectors who started paying attention early on, it is almost impossible to obtain a complete set. The size of 2 ounces, the purity of. 999 silver, the global circulation of 999 coins, the crown of the World Coin Award, Tiffany colored glass, European classic architecture, antique coin processing... almost every detail is a bonus point.
On September 14th, four of the six coins in this series will gather on the largest art trading website in China, Jiade Online (www.artrade. com), becoming the biggest highlight of the "Colorful Exhibition - New and Unique Commemorative Coins from Various Countries".


The sedimentation rate is maddening
The reporter learned from the market that the sedimentation rate of this set of coins far exceeds the usual concept of foreign currency boutique. In the domestic market, only a few of the latest Rococo art pieces released in 2010 are still in circulation. The Baroque art piece from 2009 is now out of stock for the vast majority of coin dealers, and they have revealed that even if customers want to buy it, they cannot guarantee that they will receive it. As for the earlier ones, especially the one from 2004 that won the prize, it was completely in a state of "rare and unattainable".
The situation in foreign markets is similar. It is understood that the Tiffany colored glass inlaid coin series, except for the latest one or two, has actually been classified into the channels of professional and experienced coin merchants, rather than being sold to the general public. On websites that publicly sell coins abroad, only information about Tiffany's inlaid coins from 2008, 2009, and 2010 can be found, but most of them are marked as "Sold Out".
According to the general rules of international coin collection, after the initial sale of a coin, it first enters the consumer, gift, and collection markets, naturally triggering the exchange behavior of adjusting surplus and shortage, thus forming a "market price" different from the initial sale price. The industry refers to it as "sedimentation", and for regulating the market, sedimentation mainly occurs among collectors. Due to the almost non-existent speculation in foreign currencies, the natural appreciation of collections will be significant and stable after sedimentation. Old coins, premium coins, and rare coins have also distinguished themselves from new coins and ordinary coins in terms of breadth, depth, and duration of sedimentation, forming a benign market supply and demand.
It is understood that currently in the domestic market, the market price of Tiffany's inlaid coins in 2010 was around 2600 yuan, while the first coin in 2004 had a market price of up to seven or eight thousand yuan.


The colorful glass is stunning
In 2004, the first Tiffany colored glass inlaid coin was born, igniting great enthusiasm among collectors. In 2006, it won the Best Creative Award at the World Coin Awards. Surprisingly, every coin released thereafter still had everyone's first reaction: 'Amazing!'
The stained glass embedded on the coins is an irresistible temptation for Western art from the Middle Ages to modern times. Before the 19th century, the main use of stained glass was for windows in churches, which can be considered the most glorious history of this art form. In his "Philosophy of Art," Fu Lei has a wonderful description of this: "The interior of the church is shrouded in a cold and bleak shadow, only the light that seeps in from the stained glass turns into blood red color, into the brilliance of amethyst and yellow jade, becoming a mysterious flame of glittering jewels, with strange lighting that seems to open a window to heaven
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the rise of Art Nouveau, this religious art form began to enter ordinary home life in large numbers. Among them, É mile Gall é from France and Louis Comfort Tiffany from the United States contributed the most. The colored glass lamps produced by Tiffany&Co. are still stars in international art auctions. In the 1960s, Hepburn's film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" further solidified the brand's high-end position in the minds of the world.
