Thanks for the links to the upcoming StacksBowers auctions.
I carefully looked through the various modern Chinese coins in the live and internet only auctions to determine whether there was anything I truly wanted without the opportunity to preview in person and, then, to determine the price I was willing to pay. Surprisingly, there was little I wanted for my collection so the potential final bid (plus 20%) was not material. I saw so many items which I do not own. Still, as time passes, I am finding a lower interest level. Next, I will look at the older (non-modern) Chinese coins. Maybe, these will make me excited.
