mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 9:12 pm The kind people over at CoinWeek were nice enough to publish a version of my web article. I'd like to see others among the knowledgable here to publish their own work on World Coin subjects. ..And the articles at CoinWeek don't have to be very long at all. Some are only two paragraphs long! Here's what they are: Part 1: http://www.coinweek.com/world-coins...e-coin-pt-1/ Part 2: http://www.coinweek.com/world-coins...e-coin-pt-2/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 11:57 am mlov - awesome articles as always. I enjoy reading the history behind it and it is very very packed. Not too sure if you know the history of the early Korean coins but there seems to be rather huge gaps missing from my understanding. For instance there are proof 1892 mint sets (!) known and this is excessively rare. Banknotes were also issued but rarely circulated. While I understand that the Japanese took over the minting process from 1905 onwards, there was an era from 1892 to 1902 where beautiful coins were struck. 1888 coins are a one off exception. Korea is home to some of the world's most absurd expensive coins in particular nickel copper coinage. Korean gold coins struck by Osaka mint are worth a fair amount as well. While it is assumed that when the Japanese took over, the Korean mints had to shut down. I believe there were actually THREE mints that struck coins. My question is, wasn't there enough expertise to setup their own mint rather than contracting US mint to strike coins in 1959? Or I guess the gap was just too big.

mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 4:24 pm Hey gx, Yes, I think the gap in time and expertise between 1910 and 1959 was WAAAY too big. I understand that the old Korean Mint got some help from the Germans. I uploaded an old article by Arthur Hyman on those Korean struck pieces here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gu...post-1928327 I have another, general article on Korean coins if you like it. It does cover this period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Edited by mlov 09/26/2015 4:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
