The second batch looks like machine-struck Korean from the late 19th or early 20th century, unfortunately that is out of my expertise. I don't remember if @mlov43 collects these, or if he's specialized in post-WWII issues, maybe he can help (or point you to someone or some site that can help). You may send the cookies to me through the computer, using the cookie slot (the same slot that DVDs/SVRs go into )
That's funny. I use to tell my nephew when he was 8yrs old that the cd on the computer was there to hold a sandwich.
In the latest picture, all of the coins (except the one that says "Hong Kong") are from South Korea. Probably nothing very valuable there, but mlov43 might recognize some scarce variety.
Those are all common circulation coins. I was able to make a full date set of the 100 won coins during the time I lived there.
Glad you did. NICE! Do you still have them? How many coins total? How long did it take you to do it? Tom
Yeah I still have them. They started making 100 won coins in 1970 or 71 if I remember correctly. I lived in Seoul from 2016-2017 and was able to make the whole set just from the change I got at 7-11
I can't really help with those early machine-struck Korean coins. My focus (for now) is more narrow than would be comfortable for most collectors. And the different sources of information that I HAVE seen for these pieces, particularly their mintages, is very contradictory. The OP would be better served by getting an appraisal from people who know these coins in the market better than I do.
Pretty nice coins! Made a digital album a while back with mintage figures https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/korea_year_type_album While mintage numbers are low, they are actually reasonably common - probably 20 - 50 USD each? The nicer looking 10 chon might be worth more - just can't read the year on it. Give ebay a shot and look at the sold record.
I'm not so sure about that. I'd say they're most likely genuine and could help with attribution or to trace a coin's provenance if you find something special. Keep all the envelopes & tickets etc. I was also unaware that jealousy came with peanut butter but that's about where I am too.
You might consider these resources to begin the evaluation yourself - old silver will be more valuable than 1970s common coinage: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/korea-5.html https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-The-C...824855?hash=item2acea93fd7:g:JycAAOSwvTpaI6OY Good luck and keep us posted on your progress
