Hi all,

I will be traveling to Shanghai for work in about a month. I was hoping someone had recommendation for one or more reputable Shanghai coin shops. If there are good places to check out, I don't want to miss them!


Thanks

Having a Shanghailese mother, I've been to Shanghai a couple of times. There are a lot of shops at City God Temple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_G..._of_Shanghai

Any shop you do find will probably be peddling fakes massively. I spent 3 years in China and am going back in April by the looks of things. I found a place in Xi'an that sold what appeared to be a mixture of real and fake, mostly fake, and I didn't know enough or want to pay the prices you'd need to pay for what they claim are real coins.

You have to be extremely careful when buying something.

Anything, any shopping in China have to make a thorough bargaining, otherwise, you will be treated as a fool.

Yeah, always walk away like you don't care and watch the price plummet.

I was there once and I learned how to bargain. Start by offering 20%. And, I know there are a ton of fakes. But, the rare coin market is huge in China and they must have places that sell real ones. I know I have to be very, very careful.
