<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2321066, member: 4373&quot;]This coin is a bit interesting. For those who don&#039;t know the history of Korean coinage, 1970 is a transitional year for 5 and 10 won coins. Due to the higher copper prices, copper content was dropped from 88% to 65% (could be wrong - writing this from memory) and the rest being zinc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say, the older coin is worth significantly higher in UNC condition. I would not be too surprised if someone tried to dip it to give a better look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
