Picked up a couple of higher grade pieces from Israel and another scarcer Saudi piece. It's been a while since I found something for my Early Israel Statehood set - Israel Set

1967. 6 Day War 10 Lirot. PCGS MS-67
1977. Saudi Arabia 100 Halala. AH1397 date was struck as samples for the Saudi Arabia government by the British Royal Mint, but some escaped into circulation and hundreds are currently available in the numismatic market. PCGS MS-67 (top pop)

Mostly due to the influence of Mel Wacks.
I'm thinking about trying for a set of 5 lirot silver pieces, low montages, reasonable prices.

Available some in original packaging which means you need to remove PVC. A nice assortment including the Seafaring

I've seen some in 'original' packaging, which was a wooden slab type case, and some in a larger 2x2 flips ( the one I think you're mentioning. I didn't know they were pvc flips, so I appreciate the info.
But back to your post...are middle eastern coins gaining in popularity with collectors due to all of the news coverage?
Israeli coins are widely available and there seems to be a relatively low collector base, however aiming for the earlier Pruta series has proven to be somewhat of a challenge in higher grades - perhaps as few are marketed by dealers. Not sure. I just pick them up when they become available.
