gxseries Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Finding a coin from this era in strong UNC / aUNC condition is really difficult, in particular the smaller denomination 1 fun. I am really stoked to obtain one in raw condition like this. Unlike the larger denomination 5 fun, this coin is more yellow than red as it has aluminum in it. Only minted for four years, it seems to be a lot less common than 5 fun in any condition. UNC condition just makes it a lot more desirable. Here's an example of 5 fun Bear in mind that a lot of these 5 fun coins were shipped off to China to be overstruck as 10 cash (most likely by private mints / fraud entrepreneurs). Even so, I reckon for every 1 fun coin out there, there's at least 10 of 5 fun coins. It's a "fun" collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Nice coins. I like the color on that 1 fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtgossard Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Amazing coins. The artistry on coins from Asia and Middle East leaves me in awe and this Korean coin is no exception. And yes, I wasn’t aware about “fun” coins. A funtastic discovery for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
