gxseries Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Would anyone that have a Krause on hand tell me the weight of a 1968 5 won coin? I think it was 2.8-3 grams but I am not too sure what it is exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 tbirde, what do you think of this coin? It is 2.8 grams though. Korean error coins are extremely difficult to find. The worst scenerio I can image is that someone took a sandpaper and blasted the surfaces off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbirde56 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 A sanding, etc would likely lead to the edges being worn down at an angle compared to the surface. The surface may also show irregular 'hills and valleys'. Interesting piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Blank side has been ground off. Key is that it is completely flat. A uniface coin, where two planchets enter the coining chamber at the same time, will not be completely flat on the blank side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
