Along the lines of what you expected?
whoa!
68 CAMEO on the Eilat is cool.
and I spy line 15..is that the Hamburg piece you just showed us? If it is you got ripped grade-wise, that is not a 63!
This is it - a different one
Personally, I think the ‘71 Science Based Industry coin with its stylized atom model and reactor is a beautifully awesome coin. I recently picked one up on eBay.

Bought some items in the sop like you posted from your pcgs submission. Anyone you can recommend showing in Baltimore’s that buys modern Israel gold...Judaea captiv 15 gram, alphabet 30 gram, etc?

What does "U.S. Mints" mean on that '69 Shalom pcs?
Not a clue...
The 1969 10 Lirot BU and proofs were struck at the US San Francisco mint except for those with a small K (for Kretschmer) under the helmet which were made at Jerusalem. Israel used a number of mints over the years and a few others were also stuck in the US. For instance, the 1970 and 1971 "Pidyon Haben" proofs were manufactured in San Francisco.
I find the grades interesting on some of these given the "flatness" of the design on a piece such as the Eilat and wonder what distinguishes a 66 from a 68. Also, many of the earlier pieces suffer from PVC or other "environmental" damage from OGP so any truly problem free example would seem to be a premium piece to me.
thanks, got it now!
The Cameos clearly stand out. The others I have been carefully cherry picking for quality. This whole them is under collected and under maintained. I am keeping a set running here pruning dupes as I go https://coins.collectors-society.com/WCM/CoinCustomSetGallery.aspx?s=1511
Nice images and terrific results. Love the design of the Port of Eilat. Well played
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Beautiful coins
Zohar, I’m curious to understand what motivated you to have them graded by NGC
Preservation for long term.
Is it any different from PCGS?
I send most of mine ATS. My set has them from both https://coins.collectors-society.com/WCM/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=1511
What is ATS?
Across The Street
They don't like them mentioned here.
Ah, ok then. I still am trying to understand if you believe there’s a critical point of difference.
I see inconsistencies across the grading system which fluctuate over time. Some loosen some tighten. I have learned to look at coin and then the slab. These were all cherrypicked over time. Knowing how poorly preserved these were in PVC holders, I thought these stood out for quality. I submit ATS as I feel they are more collector focused as a service provider.
I appreciate your explanation. You’re absolutely correct about the PVC effect, as well as the olive wood cases which resulted in mishandled coins.
You’ve collected a series of great quality!
Thanks a lot atom. Some obsessive hoarding as there are dupes...maybe one day there will be others into these... as right now, its quite thin.
+1 and +10 for the rendition of the Port of Eilat, chic and very mid-late 60s.
Z., you should watch the French movie,"Je compte sur vous", ("thank you for calling" was the English title) part of which is filmed in Eilat. It's based on (conman) Gilbert Chikli's genius scam , played by Vincent Elbaz who's really good and funny.

You are welcome, but make sure to watch it in French, otherwise the magic (and the fun) is gone.
