Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
The real questions are whether there is an adequate existing population for the Israeli Commems to be promoted. I suspect that question gets complicated based on historical silver spikes and the quantity that was melted. Then… one has to contemplate PVC damage for various issues. As for FM issues, some of later sets… -
Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
I fully agree as there are very few available surviving specimens given the aluminum metal sensitivity and the way they were made. I have the 64 and sole 65 as I believe this coin is truly significant. I am a buyer of these at $2,500. The last two sold for about $5,000 (all in) on Israeli auctions. The quantity of mint… -
Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
There was a 64 on eBay a while back for 2500 (it was Pre COVID) that IIRC was top pop or near it, too lazy to go look right now. Went back and forth with the seller and didn’t buy it, sort of regretting that now, given the coins historical significance. It’s the sort of thing that you could very easily envision being worth… -

Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
You asked about this coin in another thread, but I cannot find it now. After I posted my response, I found it and others in the series on the APMEX site. This gold one you asked about is listed as "out of stock", but the site also lists the mintages for the others they offer. The mintage differences aren't that large,… -
Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
Being Israeli born, I cam perhaps give perspective why I don't believe they are popular or collected by Israelis. While Jewish history in the land is rich as are ancient coins related to Jews (Bar Kochba, Judea Capta issues) the modern issues were minted in 1948 onwards with the following : 1) An attempt to mimic ancient… -

Re: Israeli Coins - underappreciated Gems of historical coins
Aside from using my coin budget for what I actually want to buy, this applies to me too. I don't have anywhere near as broad of an interest as you, but it's much wider than most. But this disqualifies practically all non-Western coinage to me. I'd like to own a First Jewish Revolt shekel, but I have better uses for the $5K…
