    I'm having trouble understanding how that "modification" adds value. Can somebody here enlighten me?

    Chinese coin collectors are collecting cap & rays 8 reales

    Mr Eureka perhaps ask a collector from China to get your answer

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    The answer is in your answer they spend big money and there are a lot of collectors from China hence big sale prices.

    I understand that there are a lot of wealthy Chinese collectors and that the market is hot. So I understand that anything that adds numismatic value can add more commercial value than one might normally expect. What I don't understand is how these particular "modifications" to the coin add any sort of numismatic value AT ALL. But if someone can give me a better history lesson than that provided in the catalog description, I might "get it".

    They are probably like "sticker dollars" in US coins. The paper additions have meaning to the Chinese and are a collecting specialty. Because they are very fragile, few likely exist in that condition.

    All glory is fleeting.

    ''Red represents fire and is the most popular color in China. It is also the national color representing happiness, beauty, vitality, good luck, success and good fortune. Red is famously popular in relation to anything Chinese and is widely used during festivals and important events like weddings.''

    As for rarity I have only seen this one in a full year but maybe a chopmark collector can chip in.

    Sounds like a great craft idea for my 3 year old. I'll get him the coins and he'll color and glue the chops on.

    I get it but chopmark collectors enjoy this type of coin to each his own. I find it interesting but not 1560$ interesting. These coins have sentimental value since they were given out at places like weddings it is a cultural thing and Chinese love their culture and are ready to pay up.

    Colin Gullberg has a reference to them in his book on chopmarks.
