Myself

After the millennium, I began to collect precious metals. After a period of time, I was involved in Chinese gold and silver coins, coins of the Republic of China, stamps of the Cultural Revolution, Macau coins and Burma coins. After that, I made further research on the collection of Burma and began to collect Burma stamps, tax stamps, stocks, silverware and paintings. I habitually collect information on Burma collections on the internet every day, especially on eBay. I spend at least ten minutes a day, sometimes more than ten hours, for research and sorting. On the other hand, I also pay attention to the auctions of major auction houses; After 20 years of uninterrupted efforts, the self-made Burma database has more than 7,000 in banknotes, more than 2,000 in coins, more than 13,000 banknote photos, and more than 2,000 coin photos.

Since 2008, I have been operating an online store, making my own website and starting to buy and sell on eBay. I have dealt with previously messy collections and only focused on Burma. After more than ten years of experience, my credit value on eBay is more than 300.

After 2018, physical health sounded an alarm, reducing the intensity of online data collection, and trading has been suspended in 2020. At 2022, I know it may be time to give up. As long as I still have the ability and memory, I redesigned the website and added blog posts to record my subjective views on Burma over the years. Let’s kill time with myself.

I once wanted to write a book about Burma’s collections. After reading The coins and banknotes of Burma by predecessors M. Robinson and L.A. Shaw repeatedly, the research and production are extremely rigorous, especially in coins. I have no official information, and my understanding of the Burmese language is superficial, making it difficult to write a book. The only thing that is useful in me is the statistics. So the blog posts are based on this aspect, and expresses the real facts of Burma’s collections from the other side.

Computer failures occurred in 2013 and 2017, and hard drives were damaged. Some data were lost after repairments, but fortunately most of them were retained. Readers in the blog posts should not be too serious, but with a leisurely way.
