Silver dime find in South Korea

[BavariaJeff]

Last weekend I searched the housing area on base. I found a 1959 silver dime. I also found four wheat pennies 2 1944s, 1944 S and 1942 S. Also pictured is a Korean 10 won dated 1966 and 2 1959 (4292 in old Korean calendar) 10 Hwan coins minted by the Philadelphia Mint. I also found a WW2/Korean War great seal US Army button about 26 mm in diameter. Finally the coolest finds are the Republic of Korea Army badge dated June 15, 1949 (4282 in Korean calendar) and what appears to be a brass bell fragment with Chinese characters on it. It looks very old. The Korean Army badge dates to almost exactly one year before the outbreak of the Korean war.
