<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 8434010, member: 16729&quot;]Yeah, a really solid and generous person I&#039;ve never met who lives 15,000 miles away...&nbsp; Let&#039;s just say I am in debt to him.</p><p><br /></p><p>He shared with me how he obtained these coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; He saw them for sale online for only a few dollars.&nbsp; It seems that many people who sell these coins, or the sets that they come in, don&#039;t really know that they&#039;re &quot;special&quot; at all.&nbsp; These were obviously broken out of a 2003 Bank of Korea Foreign Gift Set (Mintage: 3K).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many times sellers of these BOK Foreign Gift Sets will let them go for the price of a regular BOK mint set from that same year, which is MUCH less $$.&nbsp; It&#039;s only because the mint sets and the gift sets look almost identical.&nbsp; The only difference is that the Foreign Gift Sets have NO Korean writing AT ALL on their cases and slipcovers. Most sellers don&#039;t seem to be aware of that...&nbsp; My friend here has picked up at least TWO other pristine Foreign Gift Sets with reverse proof coins in them, just like these coins, and for similar, pitifully LOW prices![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
