Help with 1968 Korea 5 won.....

COINS MAKE CENTS

I don't do much with foreign coins..... and I've done research on these coins and prices seem to be all over the place.

Can anyone give me an idea of a realistic price that this coin is worth?

Thanks for any help.

Prices are "all over the place" because these are an extremely common coin, but really, really hard to find in genuine Unc, because they didn't make mint sets. CV is $1 in EF, $30 in MS60, $60 in MS63.

So coins of this caliber ( the one pictured) would be safe to say they would be worth 10 dollars each atleast?

Be aware that the auction is for a PCGS slabbed example and it will cost you about $40 to get a raw coin into a PCGS holder.

Which is why I curious.... if I have a few of these in this condition, if it would be easier to sell them raw for 10 or 15 bucks each and let others grade them if they want

I think you could do better than $10-$15. If it was mine, I'd try it on eBay for $40-$50. This one recently sold at auction for $56.53.
