<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 4551268, member: 16729&quot;]I don&#039;t know why this was chosen to be a featured article... but, okay.&nbsp; That&#039;s good!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the lottery was triggered (more than 70,000 orders were placed) and on May 27th people found out how many they were allowed to purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, people had to pay, up front, for their orders of between 1 to a maximum of 5 sets.&nbsp; Sets were 30,000 KRW.&nbsp; People needed to have a Korean &quot;I-pin&quot; (a sort of security number that identifies you as you), which would allow people to set up a membership with the Korean Mint (KOMSCO)&#039;s sales site in order to buy sets there.&nbsp;&nbsp; To pay in advance, buyers needed to provide a special number for an automatic withdrawal from a Korean checking account, and this is ALSO how the refunds are executed for those bids that did not win.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure, but refunds will be returned sometime before distribution of the coins sets.&nbsp; That&#039;s supposed to be later this summer, I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, most of the people in Korea who I know went after these sets have won at least one set.&nbsp; Some have won two, and some have won three. At least, that&#039;s what I heard on FB.&nbsp; All of these people put in FIVE bids (for five sets).&nbsp; This is how the &quot;random lottery&quot; works.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wish the U.S. Mint would have maximum sales-triggered random lotteries (and then NOT mint more coins later!).&nbsp; A much more fair distribution is achieved with this system, it seems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, how much will resellers demand?</p><p>Only time will tell...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
