There are many people joining the frenzy of trying to buy and sell Modern Chinese coins.  Many of these people are what I call opportunists.  They ask ridiculous prices hoping to get someone interested.  Since most people are looking for a bargain, it is only natural to ask for a lower price.  The buyer forgets or does not realize the coin is way overpriced, they are more concerned with the large discount from the original asking price.  So if a coin is listed for $19,000 and the buyer is able to purchase for $16,000, they think they made a great purchase when in reality, the coin was only worth $11,000.  I know there are many sellers "Going Fishing" for the person who has no clue what to pay.  Do not be a victim - Call us.  We have up to date pricing and knowledge for almost every great Modern Chinese coin.  Please remember, we actually own our coins and we have the largest inventory of rare, authenticated, Modern Chinese coins in the United States.  To see our huge inventory, visit us at the ANA Show in Boston at combined tables 1210 and 1309 August 11-14, 2010.
