I think those Prices are only for Marketing purpose, a New and inexperienced Collector /Buyer should believe that it is a average Price for Coin with 100 000 Pieces Mintage, in my opinion its way to much, i don't won't to offend nobody but for 180€ i rather Buy one Monkey King 1997 5 Yuan in OMP and enjoy a view of an rare and Beautiful Coin instead to wait for Milk spots to grow on those Putuoshan 2oz Mega Mintage Coin.
