<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1418178, member: 32000&quot;]I would consider it a relative rarity to the obtainer because these and other Imperial Chinese coins are disappearing quickly into the hands of the new Indian and East Asian collectors. At the same time the prices are going up.</p><p><br /></p><p>No less than 7 dealers here in LA have told me that these new collectors buy nearly all the Imperial Chinese coins in one swoop along with their foreign bins searching for these coins. Many are visitors who ship these via UPS or Fed Ex back home. I&#039;m not sure why and it is of course only anecdotal evidence on my part, but it seems to happen here in the LA area a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I would say it is not rare by catalogue standards, but in the current market it just might be if not enough of these are circulating in the trade market. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 cash (cents). :foot-mouth:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
