<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 4551283, member: 16729&quot;]Yeah, not as much anymore.&nbsp; You used to see one on eBay once a year.&nbsp; There&#039;s supposedly only 2,000 of them (only sold in sets).&nbsp; Many fewer than the 70K mintage 2020 proof sets.&nbsp; A lot of these 1982 proof sets were scattered around the world as gifts, and that&#039;s why I see people emailing or FBing me about the 82 proof set that they got decades ago when they worked for the Bank of Korea&#039;s office in London, or when the Governor of the Bank of Korea visited their banknote printing facility in Europe somewhere.&nbsp; People who dig these out of their closet wonder if it has any value, go on the internet, and because I wrote about the only English-language information on them, they connect with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Price-wise, the 1982 proof sets are now beyond most people&#039;s budget, at around $3,000-$5,000 USD.&nbsp; And then when you find one, not only is it expensive, the brass Five-Won and 10-Won coins in the set are often toned with the ugly &quot;South Korean Spots&quot; that plague that country&#039;s copper-based coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
