<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2274798, member: 16729&quot;]Thanks for your thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is actually being sold as a single coin by a Seoul-based B&amp;M/online retailer that only sells to local, Korean customers:&nbsp; The retailer&#039;s entire site is exclusively in the Korean language, and he makes zero effort to sell outside of Korea.&nbsp; In fact, you cannot purchase from this retailer other than by using cash or card in person at his B&amp;M store, or via internet, and in that case he only accepts funds drawn from Korea-based bank accounts. </p><p><br /></p><p>So offering this coin for sale online is not an effort to rip off anybody outside of Korea, if that&#039;s what people may think.&nbsp;&nbsp; For sure, Koreans have been known to fake things in the past (I remember getting cheap, Korean-made &quot;Nike-alike&quot; shoes in the early 80s --South Korea was only a signatory to international copyright law in 1986, and even then it took them a while to get used to that idea!), but they don&#039;t really seem to be very interested in producing numismatic forgeries; and coin collectors/retailers in Korea are very sensitive to Chinese forgeries, from what I can gather.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Also, this retailer uses this watermark on all of the &quot;better&quot; photos of his online merchandise.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
