<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1757703, member: 4373&quot;]Yes, the denomination is &quot;fun&quot; and it&#039;s fun to find when something like this pops up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This coin is a Korean 1902 5 fun.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/996148.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wasn&#039;t really looking seriously and by chance saw this for sale. It wasn&#039;t too terribly expensive and I thought what do I have to lose.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1021216.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For some reason I thought it looked different from mine and sure enough, what got me is the font thickness difference in the character &quot;6&quot; for &quot;kwangmu 6th year&quot;. It&#039;s on the lower right leg.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Turns out the original one that I had could be scarcer than I could have thought of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BUT</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As you might guess, this coin has an interesting rotation error. Rotation error of up to 15 degrees is common but this is pretty unusual.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess the moral of the story is, just because it&#039;s crusty and low grade doesn&#039;t necessary mean that it&#039;s worthless. You might find something unusual while you are at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
