However, the crazy monkey ticket didn't stop there. At an auction in Hong Kong, a single 1980T46 1980 version of the Year of the Monkey stamp with a face value of only 8 cents was sold for 1265000 Hong Kong dollars (about 165438+ 10,000 yuan), which is/higher than the price of 6.4 yuan RMB when it was issued 30 years ago. The stamp price of the Year of the Monkey in Geng Shennian is still constantly refreshing. At present, the collection price has reached 1.4 million yuan, and the market price of 80 large editions has reached about 1.5 million yuan.
Why is the 80-edition Gengshen Monkey Ticket so valuable? First of all, this year of the monkey stamp is the first Chinese zodiac stamp, and it was only after that that the zodiac stamp was issued. Secondly, its circulation is very small. Before 1980, the average number of stamps printed by Jite was only three or four million pieces for a design. As this is the first stamp in the China Zodiac stamp series, it was originally planned to issue 8 million stamps. Later, in view of the fact that philatelic activities have just resumed, people's awareness of philatelic activities has not yet awakened. After repeated weighing, it was changed to 5 million pieces.
In addition, due to the troubles encountered in printing, the yield is relatively low, and only 443 1600 tickets have passed the acceptance. Edition tickets are sold separately after being issued by post offices all over the country, and full-page monkey tickets are rare. Most importantly, this monkey ticket was written by artist Huang Yongyu. Nowadays, Huang Yongyu1100,000 monkey tickets are hard to buy, so monkey tickets created by famous artists are naturally particularly precious.
On June 65, 2065, at 438+05, 65, 438+02, 65, 438+0, China Post officially launched the sales of special products for Bingshen New Year. As the pioneering work of the fourth round of Zodiac stamps, Master Huang Yongyu once again wrote the design, not to mention the circulation of this monkey ticket. I just think that the 92-year-old master Huang Yongyu once again wrote a stamp of the zodiac, which is hard-won. The theme of the Zodiac is named "Four generations of Geng Bing under one roof" to commemorate Huang Yongyu's re-creation of the Zodiac Monkey Ticket 36 years later. Different from the monkey tickets issued in the previous three rounds, the first stamp of this year's monkey ticket is called "the site of the monkey sacrifice" and the second stamp is called "the double arrival of longevity", which shows a female monkey holding two little monkeys, also known as the "second-born monkey" among the people.
