<p>[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 5209686, member: 91469"]For some time now I have been interested in Chinese coins. There is one milled coin denomination that appears to me to be unobtainable, despite it apparently being common. I am referring, of course, to the Dollar. It makes sense that special issues and certain provincial dollars are expensive, but there are some that were issued nationally in extremely large numbers. There are three basic types I believe fit this criteria: the 1911 Dragon Dollar, the 1914 Fatman Dollar, and the 1927 Republic Dollar. Maybe I’ll include the 1933-34 Dollar for completeness. I haven’t really found any for sale, and when I have they are rather high grade and expensive. Is demand for them that high? To use an analogy, are they like Morgan dollars where the nice ones sell at auction and the lesser ones are found at every shop in China? Am I not approaching this in the right way? This was just something I have been thinking about and figured I’d ask. Here is my humble 1 Jiao.[ATTACH=full]1215466[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
