I love occupation coins too. You and I like the same stuff. Until a few years ago I didn't pay much attention to Asian and Middle Eastern coins...
The unsorted stuff is the best. I get most of my new coins from that group nowadays. I only know one dealer that lets me do it though so I hope...
It seems like that should be the one but I'm not sure it was. I thought this guy had a shop in Skokie now but I can't find it. I thought I'd...

For years what I did was try to collect a coin of every date and denomination from every country in the world. Obviously this is impossible, but...
