[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 26783473, member: 16729"]Which Korean set was it? The six-coin silver, or the 12-coin full gold and silver? That would have been a nice price for the silver set, if the majority of coins in the set could grade at PF67 or higher. These coin sets (Korea and Biafra) were organized, produced and marketed by Italcambio, an organized crime-linked coin marketer headed by Mario Pizzorni and VP Liliano Maso. They made Italcambio's headquarters in Caracas, but they had a branch in Miami in the 1970s, from which they sold the silver coins of their various world coin sets up to and after 1974 and then probably started selling gold as well after gold was allowed to be bought and sold in the USA. These Italcambio and Paramount International coin sets were looked down upon by coin dealers and the Yeoman catalog in the 1970s. They called them "pseudocoins" or "supercrowns."[/QUOTE]
