                       According to my 2010 telephone book it cats for $20.   Lower grade examples cat for $3.  Of course you know, things don't really trade for catelog value.  Mintage was 4,010,000.  So if everybody in China wanted one...   |

                      |  Also, foreign coins don't generally grade by the American 70-point system.  Mainly people just say Good, Fine, Very Fine, Extremely Fine, Uncirculated (or proof, as the case may be). |

                      |  Alright, I'm guessing it is extremely fine then, or about uncirculated if it was American. |
