<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2165218, member: 73321"]I think some of the Coin Sets of All Nations are great deals. Many of the choice ones have already traded hands, so shop carefully. There is a fellow in Kentucky or Tennessee, selling quite a few currently on EBAY. Some of the sets usually have one dud or so. The Russian and Chinese sets are commanding very high premiums. Still, some good bargains remain, South Africa and Austria come to mind. Usually the sets sell for 6 - 10 dollars. The sets are not identical, so check the dates. But MOST IMPORTANTLY you will be getting uncirculated genuine coins, and getting a 1977 (et al) UNcirculated coin on EBAY is always welcome. I did find a coin or two which were not uncirculated: the set was the Philippine one. So again, they are fine sets, some with exceptional bargains, BUT shop carefully, ask questions, request sharp photos etc. The Franklin Mint had a winner with these sets!! A day is coming when they will be very hard to find, or very expensive!!</p><p>GSDykes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
