This is my pair of C96. Aren't they look nice! C96 first appeared in 1896, 15 years before Colt 1911! It was the favorite among Chinese warlords and communists. If I have to choose between C96 and 1911, I'd pick C96 as well. Why? First, higher magazine capacity, 10/20 rounds in C96 vs 7 rounds in 1911. Second, high velocity ammunition, more accurate at longer range. Third, it just looks meaner, bigger and more powerful.

One world government. Nice idea, but by who? Chinese communist dictators or international bankers?

These parasite bankers are sucking host nations dry by suppressing the gold and silver. Unfortunately, if the host dies, parasites die with it as well.

They are giving China a golden opportunity to launch a massive financial surprise attack, the scale no less than pearl harbor and 911. One day when China declares their true gold reserve, Americans will wake up in the morning and find out from the news that their US dollars worth little more than toilet papers.

When this happens, USA can sell their nuclear warheads for gold or use trillion tons of iron to back up US dollars. Because there is no gold, or silver, or platinum left.

Jim Rickard, the author of "Currency Wars", suggested that China may have been selling paper gold in futures market to suppress the price so they can buy physical gold cheap. An interesting view. I'm not surprised by his view since I know from his book that he played the Chinese side in the Pentagon hosted Financial War game.

I've also read another "Currency Wars" by a Chinese author Song Hongbing. The book is published in 2007. The book is a best seller in China, over 2 million sold and still growing. In the book, he suggested Chinese government to spend 200 billion US dollars every year to buy physical gold. It can suck in US gold reserve (8136 tons) under just one year! He predicted when this campaign starts, the international bankers will try to suppress the gold price in the paper market. Western central banks will act together to sell their gold reserve to lower the gold price. Gold price may crash in short term. If that happens, Mr Song suggested China to keep buying. The Chinese foreign reserve is so huge it can absorb all the western central bank gold reserve (21000 tons) in just a few years. When that happens, the gold price will shoot up to the moon and US dollar reserve system will be completely destroyed.

I usually weigh each silver coin I acquire. If the weight and the size are both correct, most likely it's not fake. Never tried the PING test demoed in the video. After I watched the video, I gave it a try. WOW, the most beautiful PING I've heard in my life!

I enjoyed the moments of looking and touching these beautiful coins. Now there's one more way of enjoyment through listening!
