Wow, those are excellent coins. I only have a few Ming and would love to add to my collection. There are some of us that are interested in Chinese coins over in the ancient section. I have posted a number of my Northern Song there in the past few days.

HI - yes, I've noticed them, some great additions there. It's an interesting area and amazing that you can pick these coins up for not that much, though the rarer ones do seem to command huge prices. I believe there has been a resurgence in interest in China over the past couple of decades which has fueled that.

It's best to identify and catalogue them while watching old reruns of "The Water Margin" :)
