A client of mine who likes attractive/high quality 19th and 20th century coins is going to Hong Kong. I am wondering if anyone here has any recommendations as to which coin shop(s) he should consider visiting?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    No, but I know of a lot of E-bay addresses if you want.

    Go to the Ho Mongkok Shopping Center (No. 169 Portland street), it's filled with coin and stamp stores. I suggest the stores on the second or third floor... I forget which one, but there is a guy that has a really small store that only has room for one person and he has some really high grade, by high grade I mean stuff that only has the most minor bagmarks and no wear, European and Asian coins and yes they are genuine. In fact, I saw my first brilliant uncirculated Imperial Chinese 20 cash coin there. However, his coins are not cheap and he knows their price. He speaks limited English, so I fell back on some Cantonese, but it was difficult since I did not know the coin terminology in Cantonese. As a last note, bring a loupe and put it in a really obvious place so they know that you are knowledgeable and a real collector. Furthermore, DO NOT BUY COINS ON TEMPLE STREET!!!! Buy everything else. Oh, and the women sitting in chairs near the entrances leading up the apartments are madams for prostitutes.

    No not really, considering that they yell out "CUTE AND YOUNG GIRLS" and "WE GOT A NEW SHIPMENT TODAY" and "DO YOU WANT A GIRLFRIEND" at pedestrians.
