vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 843 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 06:54 am Hi All, I got this korean 5 Mun it seems from the Charity with weight 6,91 gram and size 30.6mm . It looks like KM#77, the 2 mun but the weight is lower and perhaps a dot left added. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1805 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 2:40 pm May not be a dot since it would be out of place? Looks like Mandel13.73A.1 as a value 2. I don't see it as a value 5 in Mandel. Edited by Albert 12/02/2024 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 843 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 1:46 pm Thank you for your reaction. I think I don't have that book. Which one do you use? The Krause is not very accurate I guess. Sizes differ to the 2-5 mun according to krause. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 32709 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 1:59 pm @vince, I'm sure that @albert will confirm when they pop back in to CCF and see your reply, but I'm pretty sure that this is the Mandel reference--not sure if there is a printing after 1972: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 843 Posts	Posted 12/06/2024 10:54 am thank you! This book gives more details then the krause regarding korean coins? Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1805 Posts	Posted 12/06/2024 4:45 pm It may give some info that is not in Krause. It mostly shows images of common coins, but maybe not much data about them. I think it's good for identifying Korean coins. I don't really don't know how it compares to Krause. I only see it as a "must have" in my library. Report this Post to the Staff
