    I don't know the population reports on similar coins, but I do recall that when I lived in Korea 20 years ago I never saw such a coin in circulation; most of the circulating coins were merely a few years old, maybe 10 and they were always beat up.

    Filam, Korean coins are also another hot item after Russian coins. Trust me, try to find high quality coins and you are going to find yourself in real trouble.

    I have been looking for some examples but I foudn them to be very difficult - to look for Korean coins minted before 1982 any higher than MS65 seems to be quite difficult these days.

    Very interesting. I wonder why. Comparative coins in the Philippines from the 50's and 60's with lower mintages are readily available in high grades for a dollar!
