US Postal Chinese Lunar New Year 24K Gold Played Stamp Ingots

The stamps in The Lunar New Year Collection represent the 12 animal signs of Chinese astrology- the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. From the Rooster,the first stamp issued in1993, to the Monkey, the final stamp in the series, this collection was created by celebrated Chinese-American designer Clarence Lee. The complete series of 12 stamps has now been expertly engraved by craftsmen as solid silver ingots, layered with 24-karat gold, to create The Lunar New Year Collection. The intricate engraving has been flawlessly reproduced in precious metal. Each ingot is exactly the same size as the original stamp and is 2.2mm thick. Each ingot in this unique collection faithfully reproduces the historic Chinese paper-cut animal designs of the original stamp, honoring an ancient tradition maintained to this day in the Chinese New Year Festival. Despite the worldwide interest in the Lunar New Year Stamps, the minting has been strictly limited to only 18,800 sets worldwide and 8,800 sets have been especially reserved for US, thus preserving their collector value. The Lunar New Year Collection is officially licensed and authorized by the United States Postal Service. Include: A Jeweler's Gloves, Elegant Wood Lacquered Collector's Chest, an official Certificate of Authenticity, and a proof set of all 12 Lunar US Postage Stamps personally signed by the designer, Clarence Lee. I have 3 sets Brand New of The Lunar New Year Collection 2005 Edition available to the Collectors. Priced at $ 1,800.00 cash per set. Please email or text for an appointment. Thanks!
