<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 24880291, member: 4373&quot;]Early South Korean coins weren&#039;t really appreciated and there is a reason why coins from 1966 - 1970 command such a high premium today. </p><p><br /></p><p>South Korea back in those times was not in a good state and these would have been worth a bit of money back then. Early 1, 5, 10 won coins has a tendency to corrode easily just due to the brass metal composition. Coins struck after 1970 had better corrosion resistance. To top this up, mintage are somewhat low compared to today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the nicer coin are from travelers or US military who collected such coins before they circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
