gxseries Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've recently added the 1893 5 fun (small letters) and the 1896 5 fun (big letters). These two coins were somewhat difficult to track down I wasn't expecting this 5 fun collection to be such a difficult challenge in particular with all the varieties and the 1899 5 fun which is a 4 figure coin! Here is my page of them: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/koreatype/koreatype.htm#5fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 They are neat looking coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 After reading a book in the last week on 19th and early 20th century Korean history I have a bit of an interest forming in Korean coins. I have nothing old from Korea, and there are some fascinating issues from there. Are we having "fun" yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Saor, it's clearly not "fun" if you are trying to assemble a year set. However, I believe a type set can be quite interesting and reasonably affordable if you don't include the 1888 5 and 10 mun, 1892 5 yang. Half won and the silver yang coins may set the budget a bit higher but otherwise mostly under 100USD. In fact I think I have a junk 5 fun that I want to get rid of. Would you be interested?
