I am in the process of purchasing it but would like to get a little more feedback! The eagle side is just dirty, as in same condition as the other side. Report this Post to the Staff

These were only released for one week and most were melted down by the Japanese. Do you happen to have the weight, clearer photos as well as the edge? Welcome to coincommunity by the way.

jackdanielsinsk New Member Korea, Republic Of 3 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 08:56 am Yes, I know this is a rare coin. I am 100% sure it is authentic. I also know they make knock-offs. Why do I think it is the real deal? The guy who has it also has an extensive collection of many Korean coins. I just wanted to get what this coin might be able to sell for if I buy it at a decent price. Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps searching through Hwadong.com records might reveal historical price record. I can't read Korean so it will be hard for me to research. Most recent sale of the 1902 5 chon XF45 was sold for 5500USD at Hertiage a few months ago. A couple of years back, a full set of this series was sold on ebay for 5-6k each if I recall correctly. (1 chon, 5 chon and 1/2 won).
