Did I get a good buy? Bulgaria set.

Snatched this set off eBay last week. Bulgaria

I knew that Bulgaria did not produce sets in 1960, so I wasn't surprised to learn that the set was made up with:
1 ctotnhka 1951
3 ctotnhka 1951
5 ctotnhka 1951
10 ctotnhka 1951
20 ctotnhka 1954
25ctotnhka 1951
50 ctotnhka 1959
1 lev 1960

This is the coin I wanted for my 1960 world date set.

Nice coin probably MS63 of better. But the set also had these two neat coins:

Re-engraved 50 and ctotnhka

Doubled die

Not bad for a whopping $4.26

    Very cool! I like the cheapo sets image

    Another really nice, affordable one from Bulgaria is the early 90s set, especially the coins with the Madara horseman statue.
  • The Bulgarian National Bank still offers these for sale, including the 20 stotinki from 1952 which is missing from your "set". Actually, it's not really a set, but covers all coins issued between the monetary reform of 1951 and that of 1962 The sales price in the bank for all 9 pieces is 5 leva (about $3).

    Enjoy your coins. image
