I am in no way a world coin collector so there may be something super special about that set but unisource numismatics ebay store run by brick and mortar morton grove coin and collectables in morton grove illinois http://stores.ebay.com/Unisource-NumismaticsCoinShop (takes you to their ebay store home) has a 1965 set for $5.99 I buy and sell from them all the time so I would think their price is more correct. I also know they used to have more world and isreal coins so they may get more in also. Taking it at face value me thinks ebayer is pulling the wool over people's eyes at $225.
Also see this link. http://www.commem.com/prod16.htm The 63 set has an error of a flipped coin and is worth $200 but not a 67 set.
That might well be. I figure if the cost is so much it is because 1967 is an important year for Israel as a nation. Which is why I asked Ruben
Seems like the seller got quite a few coins for sale, so it doesn't look like he`s an idiot. My guess is that he`s waiting for a cluless victim who might offer $40 for a set that is being sold for $220, while its actual price is $5. He also sells a token for $50 while its price should be $3, this seller is hilarious.
Lots of 25 sets sell for less than 40 dollars, check the completed listings. Also if there was something special about this set he would have mentioned it in the listing.
I sold this exact set for $10, bought from a world coin dealer for $5 There's really nothing special about this set regardless of the 1967 war. Three coin shops here in the LA area have them for sale at $5.00 to $8.00. I don't know where he got his pricing. The Krause book doesn't have them for much than what they're currently going for. He's just another scammer. All he has to do is to see what other sets like that one go for on eBay or from other dealers and set his price accordingly. He's simply luring an uninformed buyer into a price trap.
