<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2015924, member: 16729&quot;]The Krause Publications SCWC&#039;s (39th Ed.) quotes the price for the 1999 S. Korean 5 Won coin at 30 cents.&nbsp;&nbsp; I paid about $200 for one in a mint set.&nbsp;&nbsp; (Even <b><i>I</i></b> thought I was insane...)</p><p><br /></p><p>...Let me explain:&nbsp; There were only 10,000 minted, and you can only find them in mint sets, of which only 8,000 mint sets were assembled for that year (this was when S. Korea was still dealing with the Asian Financial Crisis).&nbsp; Don&#039;t ask me where the other 2,000 coins are... probably stored or melted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully, I won&#039;t have to face a &quot;purchasing decision&quot; like THAT one any time soon with regard to coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
