As experts in trading and deal-making, the owners of Blue Moon Coins have never before seen a set of this type: six 1886 NGC-certified Korean coins. They believe this collection to be the only one of its kind available to ever be available to the public.
Due to the high value of these coins, people wanting to bid on this lot will be required to call Blue Moon Coins ahead of time and preregister to bid. Bids open at $150,000 US. Bidders are requested to call 888-655-2646 (COIN).
These coins fall in the period when Korea was moving away from molded coins and toward machine-cast coins. In that era, the Korean peninsula was a strategic prize, caught in the political crosshairs of China, Japan and Russia.
Blue Moon Coins welcomes collaborative dialogue about the coins and welcomes experts to visit its thread about the coins on Facebook to further the discussion.
