Early Years Israel - Back from NGC

Received these back. These are early year, Israel coins.

Very nice examples.

I've had some decent coins from Israel over the years but nothing worth very much; the 1948 25 Mils would be nice...

Shouldn't your 250P be "with pearl" or what am I seeing below the bar on the reverse?

It is not the Pearl but the "H" for the Heaton Mint (UK). These are lower mintage.

Ah, pity... but, nontheless, a striking numismatic example!

The H variety is actually harder to find.

See other "No Pearl" variety I have

If anyone wants to trade raw coins from these years, PM me.

Kinda like those early year issues especially the 250 and 500 Pruta. Something about the simple steadfast design....

I agree you gotta get the '48 25 Mil which is really tough in UNC but I have seen a few over the years - thats the first coin minted by the State of Israel in 1948
