[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1791981, member: 4373"]Finding a coin from this era in strong UNC / aUNC condition is really difficult, in particular the smaller denomination 1 fun. I am really stoked to obtain one in raw condition like this. [img]http://omnicoin.com/coins/1022288.jpg[/img] Unlike the larger denomination 5 fun, this coin is more yellow than red as it has aluminum in it. Only minted for four years, it seems to be a lot less common than 5 fun in any condition. UNC condition just makes it a lot more desirable. Here's an example of 5 fun [img]http://omnicoin.com/coins/1014037.jpg[/img] Bear in mind that a lot of these 5 fun coins were shipped off to China to be overstruck as 10 cash (most likely by private mints / fraud entrepreneurs). Even so, I reckon for every 1 fun coin out there, there's at least 10 of 5 fun coins. It's a "fun" collection. :)[/QUOTE]
