Too bad Komsco started 1/2oz Chiwoo Silver Coin Series with 2017, not 2016 Chiwoo’s image.
But mintage for 2017 1/2oz Chiwoo Silver Round is only 10,000pcs comparing to 2016 1oz Chiwoo’s 30,000pcs and 2017 1oz Chiwoo’s 50,000pcs.
First BU coin in 1/2oz Chiwoo Silver Round with mintage 10,000pcs is a good sign.
I like first coin in a series, especially low mintage. Big potential for appreciation.
But keep in mind that not many collectors buy 1/2oz Silver Coin or Round. Too small, I guess.
By the way, Komsco minted 10,000pcs 1/2oz Chiwoo Silver Round but had seperate 3500pcs set program on 2017 Korea Coin Set ( 4 pcs Circulating Coin + 1 pc 1/2oz Chiwoo Silver Round )
Which means, mintage 10,000pcs - 3,500pcs in set ( domestic selling and soldout ) = 6,500pcs available for Gainsville ( exclusive ) to sell individually.
