Be very careful purchasing Chinese high value coins, there are factories producing fakes by the thousand.
And YEP i know Ebay provides protection.... but just how would you detect a 'wrapped' coin without the correct equipment?

Very true.

Only purchase if you know what you are purchasing. I do not expect any random person to purchase any of these.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I completely endorse it.

Shibaji is a highly esteemed member of the Chinese Coin Forum, the #1 North American Chinese Coin Forum in terms of members. Buying Chinese NGC or PCGS slab coins guarantees authenticity (one can look up s/n online). Just for Chinese coins to mature up to American coins market, it would have to rise no less than 10,000% as the Chinese Coin Market is just maturing. Currently, the hottest grossing ethnic art pieces goes for record braking prices and its not EU, US, Australia--its the Chinese Art Market. These rare mintage coins will one day surpass PM prices by a wide margin IMHO. Tiny supply= huge demand for these coins.
