    This is one heck of a set to complete and it took me a while to find the last coin, which is the 1910 20 chon. Despite the high mintage of 2 million, this does not necessarily reflect how often it appears on the market. All the other coins are perhaps 3-10 times easier to find despite similar or lower mintage number.

    Here are the pictures:

    Congratulations.

    All six are on my want list. The closest I've come to getting one was a Kuang Mu 9 (1905) borderline fair/good on EBay. I was the highest bidder of three, but well below his reserve, which turned out to be $250.00.

    Where do you find your Japanese Protectorate Korean coins? None of the B&M dealers in my area ever have them, and most of those I do have were purchased from the same dealer at different coin shows.

    Speaking of which, I won the last 1 yang coin variety (1898 narrow spaced variety) very recently that I needed for my collection. An upgrade to my 1892 1 yang would be a bonus but that can come later.
