There are too many to hop to have a complete set of all COSII coins but the COSI dies are few enough that one might get a set with a bit of searching. This is also true of the IIC, IICO, COS and such oddballs but finding even a few of these scarcer issues is not all that easy now that there are so many people collecting them. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]319580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
