[WTB] Looking for Culion Leper Colony Coinage in ANACS Soapbox Holders (USPI / Philippines)

I typically just stalk the regular auction houses when slowly building sets but this one might need more targeted advertisement, so here I am. Prefer straight grades but open to any Culion coins in Soapbox holders.

I recognize that I don't post on the CU forum (I lurk it daily though and consequently know many of the regular contributors) so I am willing to pay first (PayPal preferred) and wait on shipped items.

Best,
ZROGST

    Happy to share!
    Left is LP1.4 4th Issue 1925 1 Peso, Mintage 20,000
    Right is LP1.3 3rd Issue 1922 1 Peso, Mintage 8,280


    The first and second issue of coinage was struck by the private mint Frank & Company in aluminum. Most of them ended up badly corroded by saltwater and the chemicals used to disinfect patients. Beginning with the third and continuing to the final sixth issue, production was taken over by the US Manila Mint and the composition was changed to 75/25 Cu/Ni.
