FWIW - I found these 1849 ISraeli coins for $15 at the below URL. They look nice to me http://www.joelscoins.com/mideast.htm Ruben
Yep, nice - and since those are unc pieces, I don't think that set is expensive. But note that these coins are not all dated 1948 or '49. Since the different denominations were issued in different years, you will get a 1949-55 range, as mentioned in the offer. Christian
