Well, that didn't work. At the last second, KOMSCO restricted sales of the 2020 Proof sets to "Members Only" (red circle). And that means you...
Nope. As I guessed. I am almost CERTAIN that you cannot purchase at the Komsco site with anything other than a Korea-based credit card or one...
New Image of this set. A quite different presentation and case/cover than any other BOK mint/proof set I've ever seen. BTW, in case you guys...
I'm glad you all are much nicer to (new) people here at CT who resurrect idle threads. When I first did that years ago, I had my be-hind handed...
Holy smokes...
Yeah, in 1980, the One-Won coins were already pretty useless to consumers, although you could still get them as change. By about 1973~1975 the...
Here's a neat video of the coin set: [MEDIA]
Sweet! Mighty kind of you. I will post updates here...
Sorry guys: Not April 28th. April 29th. It's gonna be around 7pm April 28th, though for me.

Thanks for this thread! Cheers.
Having to play a "counterfeit Where's Waldo" seems easy to do for this family of counterfeits: Just find uncirculated-condition half-cents...
Well, now, why in the heck would a Pope's bribery, kids, and many mistresses be the subject of a TV series?? It's not like any of THAT should be...
Here's a rather lengthy article of mine on South Korea's first (real) commemorative coin, and the country's very first completely locally produced...
The funny thing is, I think I know where that taxi customer got his NK 10-Won note. The weekend before I read that article, I went to the famous...
Hmm. Not really. I don't know much about NK currency. I know it's the 1978 series. When I lived in Seoul 25 years ago, a taxi driver got a...
Finally found an example of 50% Ag, 50% Cu: New Zealand! [ATTACH]
Okay. Got British 50%ers. The alloy was Ag 50% with 40% copper, 5% nickel, 5% zinc. But look at South Africa: Ag 50% with 48% copper and 2%...
