CHINA, ZHOU Dynasty,c. 400-300 BC, bronze ge bi - halberd money.
These are mentioned in Jen's book, in which he writes that they were found starting in 1986 around Shaoxing, Zhejiang, site of the ancient kingdom of Yue.  They've been out in the market for about 3 years now.  No telling where the price of these things will end up, but they will never be as common as Ming knives, or even wawa.  At least that's what I think.
