I finished a set yesterday. I now have examples of all 20 of the one mun coins produced in 1881 by the Palace Guard Regiment (muwiyong) in Korea. I happened across a a whole mess of them in an excellent coin store that I stumbled into in Seoul. Previously, I had more holes than coins in this series and now I have the whole thing. I like the sense of satisfaction but now the hunt is over

I bought quite a few other Korean cash coins as well, especially the Pyongyang issues of 1891. I completed one series of these BY ACCIDENT and am only one short of completing yet another. It is odd to complete a series without even knowing it.

Sounds to me that you deserve two pats on the back: one for each set. .

Time to expand your horizons, grasshopper.

The accidental completion was so bizarre. I had a few of the series already but I couldn't remember which ones so I just bought one of each that the dealer had and figured I would do a giveaway here if there were doubles. It turns out that I only hit the holes, bought no doubles, and came out with a full set!

There are some other doubles though. I am thinking a giveaway might be in order. I have to give this some thought. I need to come up with some sort of topical question/s.

for completing your set sumnom.
BTW: can you get DPRK coins there?

sumnom

Yes, DPRK coins are available here but I have not yet started collecting them.

Double congratulations!! It is a mixed feeling to complete a set, but now you will have to think about your next challenge. Any clue to what it might be?
