<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 3793214, member: 68&quot;]It&#039;s been so many years since I bought those &#039;50&#039;s that I&#039;m not certain what they were.&nbsp; They&#039;re in a safety deposit box and I&#039;ll keep my eyes open for them. They were remarkably Gem so you&#039;re probably right they were 530a.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got pretty lucky and ran into a rather large collection of Hungarian minors and base metal coins.&nbsp; There was a little silver and higher denomination but I got outbid on a lot of that.&nbsp; This was way back in the &#039;70&#039;s before these were appreciated and I got everything for a song.&nbsp; Most of the aluminum was 50c or $1.&nbsp;&nbsp; There were several of the &#039;66 and &#039;67 proof sets included and a spectacular Gem &#039;43 5P.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most people have no idea how difficult it is to find even &quot;common dates&quot; of moderns in BU.&nbsp;&nbsp; I rarely ran into collections like this but was usually able to acquire them for very little cost.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve tried to flesh out these collections over the years but in many cases coins not included in the old collections are just rare or far out of my price range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
