Need Advice - Antique Israel Coin 25 pruta 1950

I think it's also worth noting that legitimate new sellers will generally build feedback up as a buyer and then start selling.
Personally I think selling should be blocked until you reach, say 5 or 10 feedback score.

Well he made good in my eyes, he met my terms..

Feedback left:

"'Issues' Seller made amends immediately, honest mistake....Great Communications!"

I am ok with what happened. I do not think it was intentional.

 

I would like to find one of these....saw a couple but not sure what is a good price for one...

 

Fraudster. Using 3rd party specimen UNC image while sending something worthless shows that he intended on doing so. This is not an amateur mistake. You are too forgiving.

 

Right, hang'em high! (kidding)

 

"Official" value is $100. I knew about 1.5 years ago a fellow in Israel who had a bunch of them and sold them for around $80. On eBay they are very rare and offered for BIN for above $100.

I got the one I have for around $30 few years ago.

 

@Ethan: I got a bunch on UNC 1 pruta coins lying around, a 10, 50 and 100 all in BU (don't remember the types). Send me a list of Israeli coins you need, if there is anything in my "to trade" list I`ll send`em for free.

 

Would these be the 1949 ish ones? I have the 250 and 500 Pruta from those early years....

 

All of these get tougher in true GEM and beyond. If you aim for the highest quality, assume multiples on cost.

 

I have some Israeli coins from the early days and a few 70's proof sets. The Pruta's just seem to be a piece of history. Not sure I would pay a whole lot however.

 

The Pruta series was issues immediately after statehood (with exception of 25 Mils piece in Aluminum). I built a set https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=1511 which I am having a challenge to upgrade. Israeli collectors never focused on quality and the better pieces come from US collections.

 

Wow, that is cool.


I have one of these but not in this shape..Its NICE

 

Yes this is the only crown size issued not for circulation. Some 40,000 minted yet commonly available.

 

Wow again ...Bookmarked
