[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1338936, member: 68"]Thank you very much for the link and all the work you did. I'm far more interested in knowing what coins are actually circulating in Korea and the disposition of the coins that are obsolete. I'm interested in the average and typical condition of the circulating coins. It's so very difficult for we modern collectors to get any information at all about what's out there and what isn't. Sometimes the first I know a coin is rare is when it suddenly gets listed by Krause for hundreds of dollars. I only know what I can find and what I can't and a few things that can't be found are not especially rare. Chance does play a small role in what one sees. Also newer coins are often common and never seen in the US. I just don't see post-1990 Korean coins much. I collect all the post WW II Korean coinage but especially the circulating coins in Unc. I prefer chU or Gems but any unc will do when they are rare. Your collections on the link are simply spectacular. They may be unmatched anywhere. Congratulations on the completion and quality of these sets. I'm sure they all represent a great deal of effort. ...Maybe even more effort than I have in my clad quarter set.[/QUOTE]
