I find the rin coin to be odd at best. I do have some in my collection but am never a big fan of it. Mintage of some years can be plenty but if...
Sure why not? No one is forcing one to buy at that price. That said, color circulating $2 coins are somewhat hard to come by. If you look at the...
I think you would be lucky to get a damaged example even at $500. I've never seen one for sale under $1000. I've tried to hunt for one a while...
Why should they? Its opening a can of worms if you look into the history of this coin. Struck to commemorate the opening of highway in Kweichow...
Good grief. Why is there so much drama over this? It's like you go to the supermarket and cry foul over priced of bottled water. Vending machine?...
