Dude the Korean Yang is a sweet score.

Where did you get them? Are you going to have them certified?

The Japanese trade dollar is BADD ASS!

through an auction (wound up paying essentially $1200 for the 3 foreign), and I got a (not nearly as Purdy but au/unc) 1930 D 5 mark for $170 (3rd lowest mintage in the series :o BV is $1800-$2400 just for the german piece)

needless to say I've done really well.

all of the foreign are going to pcgs, with a few others that I've randomly gathered over the last few months.
