If the volume is tiny, it still has a market.
Watched a video on youtube.com, one college history teacher chatted about collecting ancient coins in his class. He offered ¥4 (it's roughly 65 cents in US currency, local buying power is similar to USD$4 though) for a Chinese Han Dynasty copper coin. Genuine, not cleaned, about 2000 years old. Seller asked ¥6 or ¥8 per coin. How could it be so cheap?? He said, "you know, they just found a few more tons of those from another ancient tomb. Genuine & old does not mean much since the supply is huge on the market. Don't want ¥4? it's ¥3 tomorrow"
