Thanks so much for the information! The "tier" for these coins was "Modern," so yeah, they were $28 a piece, plus 4% FMV. My camera set up is:...
No "1980"-dated coins here. Perhaps it does. Looks a lot better than when I sent it in!

Yep. What used to be easy pickings of nicer-grade World coins ten, fifteen, twenty years ago has now evolved to a waiting game for many of these...
Nope. Never heard of him. The guy was way before my time, if Google searches are any indication: His exact name shows up in Black Belt...
I know very little about cast pieces from any country... I'm only really studying South Korean coins.
4.22g (bronze) vs. 4.06g (brass) However, I wouldn't exactly be relying on weight: These coins were made at a time when the South Korean Mint...
@joecoincollect and @Mkman123 I was pretty sure that both of the 10-Won coins that I had submitted in the OP video were the "bronze" varieties....

SCORE!
@joecoincollect and @TheFinn : Yes, these coins are brass, but I believe the name "bronze" comes from the market name of this metal (90% Copper...
Yeah, take care of yourself, man. You can't drop out on us: Who else are we going to turn to when we need to authenticate a scarce piece from a...
You will need a Submitter Number that you can get from the ANA. This submitter number lets you avoid "signing up with" NGC and paying their...
Their shipping might prove pricey, sure, but it is sent under lock-and-key via Registered Mail. I would reserve this kind of grading only for...
My guess is that it's a simple business decision to not attend to each and every one of the fraudulent sellers/buyers that use their platform and...
Good luck with that, man. Hey, maybe you can at least share your grading results with us here at CT, if not make an "Unboxing Video?"
No, not much difference (1%). It may also have been the calibration on the XRF analyzer that created that result, or maybe the metallurgy work of...
