<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 1724355, member: 16729&quot;]<b>I am looking for EXAMPLES of South Korean die varieties.</b>&nbsp; Basically, just an IMAGE of one of them to add to my webpage on Korean coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are familiar with the South Korean section of the Krause <u>Catalog of World Coins</u>, you will notice that the Catalog mentions die varieties for the 100 Won coin, KM-9 (1974, 1975) and the 50 Won coin, KM-34 (1983 and later).&nbsp; They also have a separate catalog identifier for varieties of 10 Won coins for years 1991, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, giving them the catalog number KM-33.2.&nbsp; I have yet to be convinced that there are &quot;thicker numeral&quot; varieties of these dated coins, or as the 39th edition says, &quot;Thicker value below date&quot;.&nbsp; Maybe I just haven&#039;t come upon them?&nbsp; See below to judge for yourself.&nbsp; The Korean DaeGwangSa Catalog doesn&#039;t even mention varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>By doing some internet searches, I have discovered some die varieties that Korean numismatists claim, but that Krause does not identify.&nbsp; One is a &quot;wide date&quot; versus a &quot;narrow date&quot; (or is this &quot;large and small date&quot; thing?) for the 1969 5 Won coin.&nbsp; See below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;ve seen claims of varieties of the 1980 100 Won coin.&nbsp; The claim is the depth of strike around Admiral Yi&#039;s eyes and hat-band.&nbsp; See below.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have come across any of these varieties, or know where I can access information about them, please let me know!</p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
