Opinions on a Korea (Japanese Protectorate) 1907 Half Won

Hey everyone,

I'd like to get opinions on grade, authenticity, and value for this coin. I believe I have it attributed correctly:

KM 1135
Korea (Japanese Protectorate) 1/2 Won
Mintage: 1,000,000
.800 fine silver (.2605 oz ASW)
Krause values: F ($100) VF ($200) XF ($350) UNC ($800)​

cool coin. not sure if it's real. looks VF-XF. not an expert here.

 

Looks genuine. Strong XF however some carbon spots. It's really up to the buyer to decide how much he / she wants to pay for it. It's a one year type for this coin. At minimum, you should be looking at least 250 - 300 dollars otherwise you might as well wait.

 

I would agree on gxseries' value estimate for a dealer sale. Low start price auction I feel would be more around $200. If it helps, I sold one on ebay 2 years ago that was the same grade, but had light surface hairlines on both sides. That one ended at $130 and change.

 

Thanks everyone! I've been looking on eBay, seems like they have been selling for decent money.

*NGC AU Details for $217.50
*PCGS AU58 for $435
*Raw in slightly better shape for $338

I'll probably start it tomorrow as a 10-day auction with a reserve or a $250 minimum starting bid. Why not?

 

The $338 one is in a bit more than slightly better shape, but for it's worth I have my suspicions about that one due to the person selling it and some of their other coins over the years.
