Description
Traditionally,
the year 2014 is ruled by the Horse. The
Horse personality embodies life, liberty and happiness. He's amazingly agile, physically and mentally;
a master problem-solver. After everyone
else has given up, the Horse will saunter in with an ingenious and practical
solution - and often charge ahead before the rest of the group can catch up. The Horse can be impatient, but he's also
forgiving and kind. His sunny
disposition is irresistible. Give him
plenty of space to frolic.
The
Year of the Horse also ruled 1906, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990 and
2002. However, people born in January or
February should consult the Chinese lunar calendar. New Year does not automatically fall on
January 1st. This celebration is better
known as the Spring Festival and coincides with the first day of spring - a
date that shifts from year to year depending on the lunar cycle and solar year.

and celebrate the Year of the Horse!

Information
OK Ranch sells fine collectible, investment, and gift coins; fine & fashion jewelry; gifts, and more through our eBay store.
“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”. Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
