Ok, it was mostly a sensational headline to sucker you in...but in all seriousness, I am a bit shocked by these prices!

some of the older modern chinese gold and platinum coins do carry a huge numis premium but you best know what you're doing with all the fakes out there. Recently, on ebay I saw some frac gold unicorns go for twice spot.

I'd much rather have one of these...

Nicer looking coin, IMHO.

That's a nice one. I kicked myself after letting a 1/10 Singapore tiger sell at auction for just above spot recently.
