<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2254831, member: 16729&quot;]How&#039;s this for a world-coin price variation?:</p><p><br /></p><p>The S.

Korean <i>won</i> </p><p>[1 U.S. Dollar =1,100 S. Korea Won].[ATTACH=full]446683[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So, according to Krause, that 1999 5 Won coin is worth <b>.30 cents</b>.</p><p>And, according to O-Sung, this same coin, at today&#039;s exchange rate is <b>$177.00</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I don&#039;t put a lot of credence in &quot;catalogue pricing,&quot; but I do in realized pricing.&nbsp; From the limited information that I have, I&#039;d say that O-Sung is closer to actual realized prices (not too far off) for these coins when sold at Korean retailers or even online venues that non-Korean use (i.e., eBay).</p><p><br /></p><p>How and why does Krause Publications keep listing these coins for below a dollar?&nbsp;&nbsp; Isn&#039;t there enough evidence for a &quot;necessary correction&quot; to their list price in this case?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
