The Standards Works on Korean Coins These are Left to right: 한국의 고전 Korea’s Ancient Coins by Han Yong-dal 한용달, 2002. 한국의 별전열쇠패 (Korean Charms & Yeolswaepae) by Han Yong-dal 한용달, 2007. Cast Korean Coins and Charms by Op den Velde and Hartill, 2013. My book(!)
Yeah, now all someone has to do is write the book for the early struck coins of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I have yet to find a book on this subject. Articles, but no books.
I bought the book and am very impressed. Not often you can buy a recently published english language coin book for for a non-english language country at at reasonable price. And in full color too!
So glad to hear that you're satisfied with your buy. I have to say, the book actually does have all those exact qualities that you just listed. Well said!
I had a pleasant conversation with Mark yesterday at the ANA Chicago convention. I am impressed with the thoroughness and quality of the book. This is a real asset for English language speakers.
