<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 4643167, member: 16729&quot;]Yo!&nbsp; Welcome to the Darkside!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yep.&nbsp; I have found that these coins are incredibly hard to find now in Mint State Grades.&nbsp; If you could have seen the prices for these in 2005...&nbsp; You&#039;d find lots, in graded holders even.&nbsp; Just three years ago, there were the occasional one.</p><p><br /></p><p>My theory on &quot;what&#039;s happened&quot; is that many of these coins have first migrated from dealers&#039; world-coin inventories (where they believed that these coins were worthless or just a few bucks) to collections as the prices for these coins started to rise precipitously in the early-mid 2000s.&nbsp; I think many migrated to collectors in Korea.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem now is that there is NO inventory of these in Mint State anywhere (it seems).&nbsp; I&#039;ve had good luck searching ebay.de (German Ebay) and ebay.co.uk (British ebay).&nbsp; However, they&#039;ve sort of dried up now, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s mine.</p><p>The 1966 10-won was from an NGC MS-64 holder, crack out, of course, to put into album.&nbsp; The 1966 Five-Won was in an NGC holder at MS-65.&nbsp; And then I have two &quot;big key date&quot; 1970 bronze 10-Won coins in MS-64, as you can see here.</p><p>[ATTACH]1147354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1147355[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1147356[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
