gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/24/2013 11:42 pm Finding a coin from this era in strong UNC / aUNC condition is really difficult, in particular the smaller denomination 1 fun. I am really stoked to obtain one in raw condition like this. Unlike the larger denomination 5 fun, this coin is more yellow than red as it has aluminum in it. Only minted for four years, it seems to be a lot less common than 5 fun in any condition. UNC condition just makes it a lot more desirable. Here's an example of 5 fun Bear in mind that a lot of these 5 fun coins were shipped off to China to be overstruck as 10 cash (most likely by private mints / fraud entrepreneurs). Even so, I reckon for every 1 fun coin out there, there's at least 10 of 5 fun coins. It's a "fun" collection.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/24/2013 11:58 pm Just about ANY World coin from before about 1930 uncirculated is somewhat of a prize. I have been on the lookout for older World coins in EF or better, for decades. I have never seen a minor Korean machine struck coin before about 1930, in this condition. Congratulations to you, on this acquisition. Report this Post to the Staff
