A Small Victory

Finally got the last one. The entire modern coinage of the Faeroe Islands. KM-1 through KM-5. Mintages 200,000 to 300,000 each, but much harder to accumulate them all in decent shape than I ever thought. Minted in 1941 by the London mint for the Faeroes, while Denmark was occupied by the Germans.

Very nice set. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent set!!

That is indeed a hard one to put together. How long did it take you?

I bought the 25 Ore in 1982 before I stopped collecting. I began collecting again about 18 months ago. I found the 10 Ore and 5 Ore relatively quickly. The 2 Ore was harder. Finding a 1 Ore in decent shape was very tough. It was the last one. I just got it in after finding it from a British dealer online.

Very nice set.

About a year ago I found the 10 ORE in XF and since then haven't seen any in my travels. Hadn't thought about going after them all but you tempt me...

Hm. I've never gotten the first one!
