Preface

ACCA is an appraisal and rating agency with a relatively complete range of appraisal categories for larger coins, literary and artistic works in Asia. It has a certain degree of scale and development capacity for research and specialty in the field of Asian coin appraisal. In recent years, it has provided the appraisal service needs of many collectors in Asia, and even national units such as courts, customs, criminal bureau, investigation bureau, etc, all of them entrust ACCA to identify the fair units 。

of the third party. Due to the excavation of China's collection market and the continuous improvement of counterfeiting technology, the demand for appraisal services has also grown rapidly. It also enables some opportunistic sellers and unprofessional coin and plastic packaging companies to set up many unprofessional appraisal institutions through marketing packaging and collusion with merchants. They are counterfeit, undefined and compete at reduced prices, the constant occurrence of players and referees has seriously hurt China's fledgling collection market and even the whole Asian collection market. Therefore, ACCA has the responsibility and obligation to continue to be a leader in the field of identification in Asia. In addition to cultivating excellent identification talents, ACCA should continue to give collectors and merchants good commodity quality and perfect after-sales service, and will never take opportunistic measures to destroy the Great Wall, because the identification of this work is to "sustainable management", we must carefully understand, otherwise it will eventually be eliminated by the market because of "people do not plan. For example, the origin of coin appraisal: in the United States, there were more than has been engaged in antique collection for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for appraisal companies in its heyday. Finally, after has been engaged in antique collection for to has been engaged in antique collection for years of elimination, there are still more than 2008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for . Perhaps consumers will be surprised to ask, why are there so many? The main reason is that the United States is still the largest country in the world for coin trading at this stage, accounting for nearly has been engaged in antique collection for /2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for of the world's total number of transactions each year. Therefore, the demand for banknote identification is so huge。

. At present, the world is still slightly famous and large in the United States PMG. However, the PMG classification system continues to use the 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for grades of American coin identification. ACCA has conducted long-term questionnaires and market surveys, in the opinions of coin dealers, collectors, and ordinary people, it was decided to compile another set of grading standards suitable for collectors all over the world: the has been engaged in antique collection for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for -point standard system, which is also the standard implemented by ACCA . I believe this set of standards will be very popular in the near future. One of the most important advantages and advantages of the has been engaged in antique collection for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for -point system is to decimal the number classification, with a full score of has been engaged in antique collection for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for points making it easy for collectors to understand and use. This classification standard will far exceed the 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for -point coin application classification. Perhaps the supporters of the American system cannot agree with it, but ACCA will strive to make the has been engaged in antique collection for 2002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for 002008 engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for engaged in calligraphy and painting collection, appraisal and auction work for -point system the mainstream of the market, please support and promote 。
