<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2171748, member: 4373&quot;]The Chinese coin market is an interesting market. What made the prices shoot up like a rocket is during the GFC - the Chinese just couldn&#039;t trust banks and stock related for investments. Coupled with the strong nationalism and an interest in reviving the great Chinese history, this made the market explode. Prior to that, many Chinese crown coins were sold for close to melt value. I still regret not getting a hoard of them back then. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the market has definitely cooled as the economy is not doing too well, scarcer coins are still performing very well. In particular high grade coins from the Qing dynasty and proof mint set from 1980s. I guess the most obvious point is that people who are born from this era are in their prime working age have the money to spend a good fortune on such coins. They may want to past them down to their grandchildren. Low mintage figures and poor survival rates also help to boost the figures. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a big fan of the early Chinese commemorative coins such as the 1985 1 yuan featuring Xinjiang and 1986 1 yuan featuring Year of Peace. Try to find them in proof condition - they may need more than an arm and leg![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
