The sealed holder the coins are in is worth that. I always wonder where dealers find these coins sealed up in nice kits from years ago. I can't find anything like that at the mint. The coins are not worth much money, but make a nice addition to my World Coins.   09-24-2008, 06:28 PM   #2 (permalink) snaz Registry fever     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Alberta, Canada Posts: 3,317 My Mood: pics? __________________ -Shawn Need your Canadian copper identified?

I had some problems with the "system", but if you folks will all pull together, and loan me 70 Billion dollars, I think I can fix the problem and we will all get through this crisis.LOL Attached Thumbnails     09-25-2008, 08:20 AM   #8 (permalink) tight wad Senior Member     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: near San Antonio,TX Posts: 165 Oh, one more thing. It is a supreme compliment to be called "tight" by Scottish Money. You may recall the Mississippi River was created when a Scottsman dropped a nickel down a mole run!   09-25-2008, 08:46 AM   #9 (permalink) HandsomeToad Urinist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 6,599 My Mood: I remember in the 70's coins from Israel were being marketed for collectors in all kinds of forms. Do you know the dates on these? They could be from that time period.

Posts: 5,941 I can tell you where a lot of dealers find these coins. They walk in the door. We buy coins, not holders, at the shop so the dealer probably paid next to nothing for it. I've heard the boss tell sellers the holder is worth more than the coins on SO many occasions. As HandsomeToad noted it does look like the packaging of coins from Israel in the 1970s. Seen quite a few of those. __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   09-25-2008, 05:38 PM   #11 (permalink) HandsomeToad Urinist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 6,599 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by clembo As HandsomeToad noted it does look like the packaging of coins from Israel in the 1970s.

Ribbit Ps: At least we don't have movie ticket stubbs from the premiere showing of Gone With the Wind, like Spock has. And we're not capable of telling stories about growing up during the Great Depression, like Doug does.

It was issued on 21st anniversary of Israel which means 1948+21 ; so it is from year 1969 (probably issued on May). And its worth more than $3. So you did good. __________________ Visit My Website Last edited by kidromeo; 09-26-2008 at 03:39 PM.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
