Probably not. Whizzing specifically refers to using a rotating brush head at high speeds to simulate luster (named for the "whizzzzz" sound the...
The mushiness of the reverse lettering is what convinces me this is a fake.
I'd probably call that VF-35 by US standards (might squeak through to EF), which means its a low VF by British standards. If you check Heritage,...
Specifically, compare the symbols at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. On yours, they are stars. On the one you have pictured, they are two flowers and a...
The mint adjusts prices throughout the year based on spot prices. The prices are going up because the metals are going up: [IMG]
I'm not sure how the Korean mint does/did things (I know that's your focus). The US mint used the nitric acid pickling method up until 1970....

Oh, that's too bad!
You can find these for $35-$50 without prooflike qualities, although I paid a bit more for it because of the semi-prooflike nature. This is well...
Ah, yes, that makes a lot more sense. I was really confused for a minute. And, your after results show some pretty good improvement. Looks like...
I think you goofed on your obverse pictures.... You show the same obverse twice as the after, but no before of it. And the other obverse you...
If you're interested, Roger Burdette wrote a fascinating book about all the troubles they had coming up with the war issues:...
