<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 2504412, member: 15488&quot;]Did I mention I just made $36 at the coin show? I couldn&#039;t leave without spending it. I was on the prowl for World Mint or Proof sets. I was almost finished with the tables when I spied a set I had been waiting for on Ebay. I haven&#039;t found one that I liked for the price I wanted to pay. Today it was going to happen. I asked tyhe dealer for a price and he made me a quote that was about $50 less than any I have found on Ebay! After my heart stopped pounding, I asked him if he could do better. He asked me what I had in mind. I told him I collected World Mint sets and was probably the only one in the room that appreciated the set. I asked him if he would take $9 less. He looked me straight in the eyes, glanced over to the set, back to me and said &quot;sold&quot;. Got his business card and email. Says he has some more sets at his store and to contact him after the show. Both of us were happy with the transaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a strange set. A total of 30 coins. 2 each of the coins. Display shows the obverse and reverse of each. Good thing too since they are glued to the case!</p><p>The 20 Baht is a one year(1963) Silver Commemorative coin. The set has 4 different 1 Baht coins. 2 are commemorative, 1 is Copper-Nickel, and the other is labeled as Silver. I question the validity of the Silver label since the Silver 1 Baht is considered as &quot;rare&quot;. Both pass the magnet and tissue test, but since they are glued to the case, I have no way of weighing them. They do have a slightly different color then the CN coins, a hint of toning, but nothing like the 20 Baht.</p><p><br /></p><p>The set is technically a 1963 but contains coins from 1940,1946, 1950,1957,1961,1962, and 1963. Most are 1957. Some of the coins are issued in Tin, Bronze, and Copper. It&#039;s more of a type set than an annual mint set. Nice red case with a Flying Dragon on the lid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah, the $36 profit paid for slightly more than half of the cost. Got out of the show spending $25.50 total.</p><p><br /></p><p>1963 Thailand Mint Set&nbsp; Mintage 100,000</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]531894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]531895[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]531896[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
