    Ending in 9 hours. Very low price for the set. Condition unknown.

    I think $200 - $300 is good buying price for this set, and submit the coin to NCS/NGC. 1980 1 yuan is currently selling very well inside China, not ebay.

    There are 2 varieties with 1980 yuan.

    Take a look at th MS66 1980 yuan (common variety), sold for RMB 1200 or about USD 188. http://www.coin001.cn/read.php?tid=16105

    The 1980 yuan is selling poorly on ebay. This is the scarcer variety and also a very nice example. http://search.ebay.com/160835977297

    Thanks Thor.

    These early China mint set were for export market, but were heading back to China now. $664 is strong price for the blue cover of the 1980 set. Black cover is slightly scarcer.
