<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2044066, member: 4373&quot;]Copper historically has been expensive but this is no longer true due to global recession. At peak, copper was around 4.50 USD / lb but it&#039;s now less than 3 USD / lb. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now back to the topic, this is a 1967 Korea 5 won, MS63 that was sold recently. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Korea-5-Won-NGC-MS63-RD-RARE-MS-BU-Coin-/141496568213?pt=US_World_Coins&amp;hash=item20f1da4995&amp;nma=true&amp;si=Izd6qiv6sY9BzB1lzsxNSgf17Ow%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Korea-5-Won-NGC-MS63-RD-RARE-MS-BU-Coin-/141496568213?pt=US_World_Coins&amp;hash=item20f1da4995&amp;nma=true&amp;si=Izd6qiv6sY9BzB1lzsxNSgf17Ow%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Korea-5-Won-NGC-MS63-RD-RARE-MS-BU-Coin-/141496568213?pt=US_World_Coins&amp;hash=item20f1da4995&amp;nma=true&amp;si=Izd6qiv6sY9BzB1lzsxNSgf17Ow%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok that was a bit of cheating but I&#039;m not going to put a grade. I&#039;m not too much of an expert when it comes to putting numbers. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, it&#039;s indeed rather scarce to get decent UNC coins from 1960 - 1970s especially when mintage number are less than 10 million. From my experience, these coins are plagued with spots which is rather common when coins are alloyed with zinc or tin. These I believe are easily formed when some liquid is left on the coin which when left alone oxidizes with some parts of the coin, leaving ugly spots on the coin. I&#039;ve &quot;accidentally&quot;&nbsp; experimented with some coins that I left on the table when I split water / other liquids and forgot to wipe them as soon as I noticed them. Thankfully they weren&#039;t expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only two coins that I may be able to show are these: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1003815.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/975854.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I realized that I don&#039;t have any decent UNC 10 won coins that&#039;s dated 1966 - 1970[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
