mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 5:01 pm I was surprised at the price for a Five-Won Gold coin from the Korean Empire era (1908), even though this auction happened back in 2016 in Korea. The equivalent of $144,700 USD (in 2016 USD) is really impressive for a Korean collector coin, I thought. That is, until I saw this one: A 20-Won Gold of this same series sold for $632,500 USD in NGC MS-64 (Norman Jacobs Collection) in 2011 at Heritage. I had no idea that Korean coins have sold for so high... Guess I wasn't paying attention to these older coins. But I've noticed that you don't see big coins like this at auction in Korea anymore, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Report this Post to the Staff

Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 03:49 am As I said here, we expect that in the near future the price of Asian coins will only grow. People in Japan, South Korea, China and a number of other Asian countries are getting rich and starting to buy coins of their country. Since these are countries with a high level of population and a low circulation of coins, the price for them is growing every year. Maybe we should buy a couple of coins to earn our% from sales in the future? I want to start buying Chinese coins, but I really don't understand anything about it and I don't know Chinese.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 11:41 am Some of the Korean coins in particular the 1886 patterns are very rare. I believe they were made in Germany if not guided by German mintmasters. The Russian influenced Korean coins are quite scarce too. This is an example And a tribute medal To complete a nickel copper coin set of the Korean Empire can be a real challenge! I've been looking for them for over a decade if not closer to two. Still missing three 5 fun too...
