I have one of these Korea 1/4 Yang coins which I found in a 1960's coin dealer's foreign coin box.


Korea 1/4 Yang 1898 (Year 2)
Copper-nickel, 20.7 mm, 4.80 gm

I believe that I have Arirang group E obverse 15 reverse 17.

 

WOW. Thank you for the link!

I have a stash of them hidden away (maybe 30?). I have an error off centre 1898 1/4 yang. Losing omnicoin does hurt...

If I can find them...

 

Couple of the errors

Doubling


Off centre

 

Most of the stuff that I stashed away a while back. Think that would cover a good chunk of the varieties! There's some rotation error too.

 

If you have decent images of each of these coins, I'm sure the author (Calvin Jin) would be interested in them, considering the numerous varieties you have. He has an instagram page where he can be contacted.
