I plan on sending this fella in, but I wonder what NGC will call it.

Because of the roughness particularly on the right upper portion of 0, it was attacked by an acidic solution, maybe an acid or similar. It basically "etched" this area. Note also the denticles at 1 o'clock have that same effect. It is PMD, not an error of production or planchet flaw. A "lamination" falling off would look wholly different and not affect the devices that way. Edited by Crazyb0

I can see what Crazyb0 is suggesting, but would the formation of the tops of the numbers still be somewhat visible below the "crater" rim if it was a normal strike and there was acidic PMD. I just feel that the little visible imaging was from a the striking die hitting the gutted out area and some metal flowing to create the ghosting imaging. Maybe some CCF member might have another similar example that could support either or a new position. I do not believe that this would be a coin with enough of a value to send in for grading. KK |

If this in fact an error and not acid washing, this would definitely be worth sending in for grading. Bank of Korean coin errors are significantly more rare than the US. Outside of rotated die errors and weak strikes on the years, errors just don't happen here in Korea. For example, I discovered a very strong and obvious die clash error on a Korea coin last year and it was the first time anyone had ever seen it. I sent her in to NGC and immediately got an offer for $1,000 upon her return.

I'd say struck through grease/oil.

Lembarc: Die clashes would result in multiple strikes, and there would be a number of coins that could potentially show the "variety". Think of the Bugs Bunny teeth Franklin half dollar US coin series. These are varieties and not true single coin errors. A market tends to develop either when it is a hub variety or a die variety because more than one person can obtain a copy. True errors tend to be single coins and are not a function of the hub or die. So yes your die clash "variety" may have siblings which can be looked for. This "error" coin with the de-lamination and/strike through is an error, not likely reproduced and therefore unique. A much smaller collecting universe than variety collectors. Good luck with what you decide to do. Possibly you could try to sell it to a dealer specializing in errors. KK |

Yes you are correct and I own four die clash error 1 won coins. I know one other that has one, but they don't have the very strong die clash or the coin in nice condition. Either way, even a die clash coin error in Korea is a fun and big deal. I hope this 10 Won is a delam/strike through is a real error and it comes back from NGC as such. Thanks for the help~

UPDATE: I finally got my coins back from NGC and they agree it was a struck through error! Check it out here: https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/2822618-004/63/Also, @Kopper Ken I sent three of my 1966 CD error coin's siblings to NGC and all three were sent back w/o the error designation. Two of the error coins can be seen without any loupe/magnfication. Couldn't beleive it. |

Is MS63 a fair grading ?
It seems overgraded to me.
There seems to be a lot of scratches in the field and some wear on the rims.
Also, the reverse has no lustre and I thought that MS63 denoted full lustre apart from other attributes.
