I have this coin and not sure of the year and most sites only have South Korea and North Korea listed and can't find info anywhere.

tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 4:52 pm Just a little more information on this coin. It's made of German Silver and was minted by the Philadelphia mint in the USA. Terrell Report this Post to the Staff
QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 6:57 pm I don't believe so. I have one and it's definitely not silver. It looks as described in Krause, Nickel-Brass Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/06/2009 7:44 pm Well, German silver isn't silver from Germany! then I guess a lot of my coins would have a bullion value It's basically another Cu-Ni allow Report this Post to the Staff
tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 03/07/2009 01:00 am Sorry to mislead you. German Silver is not silver but rather the alloy as listed in Krause. Terrell Report this Post to the Staff
