China Manchukuo 1943, 1944 1 fen - unusually hard to find coins?

Manchukuo or better known as Manchuria was an area that was occupied by Japan during WWII.

 

I found the 1943 1 fen to be unusually difficult to find. This seems true for a lot of Manchukuo coins struck in between 1941-1944 for some reason - they are getting scarcer to find by the day.

Strangely enough, fiber coins are much easier to find regardless of the catalog value.

I do not have a Krause catalog handy to know what the values are but JNDA (Japanese catalog) seem to greatly underrate coins struck in between 1941-44. Fiber coins on the other hand are overvalued for some reason.

 

Not sure if anyone else collects such coins but would like to hear how difficult you find these coins to be.
