Nickyboy New Member New Zealand 2 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 05:51 am Hi. I have a collection of BoK annual mint sets and thinking of selling one of my rare 1998 proof sets. Where would be the best place to do this please. Feedback would be much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 07:45 am you can check on ebay . check to see if anything similar has sold there and you can see what they sell for to give you an idea of a starting price - are these South or North Korea coins?

mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 9:31 pm I have a new 400-page book out on South Korean coins and one of the chapters of my book was all about the Bank of Korea mint sets and their historical pricing over the years. Selling on ebay is fine, if you don't have access to the Korean coin market. Mind you, the mint sets that you sell on ebay will make you a good return, especially if you've had them for a while, but the sets will probably be bought by someone in Korea who could very likely turn around and sell them locally for 2X to 3X the price you sell it for on ebay. Those are hot in Korea, although prices have cooled in the last year for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Report this Post to the Staff

Nickyboy New Member New Zealand 2 Posts	Posted 06/02/2024 6:04 pm Apologies for the delay in responding, I have been travelling. Thank you all for your replies. The coins I have are from South Korea. Looks like I wouldn't get that great a price via ebay, how could I gain access to the Korean market to sell? I have quite a few annual sets, from around that period. regards, Nick Report this Post to the Staff
