One of our contacts found a hoard of 1968 Irish pre-Euro Mint Sets. Most of them went back to Ireland and the rest we were allowed to buy. The set comes in a green card holder inside a vinyl wallet. It contains Irish pre-euro coins in Uncirculated condition, but over the past 50 years the coins have mellowed a little. This 1968 Mint Set contains the 1d, 3d, 6d, Shilling and Florin. 1968 is an important set, it is the closest to the changeover to Euro coins. The set comes in a wallet and the coins are Uncirculated but may have mellowed over the years.

During the reign of King George VI Canada issued five different types of 5 Cent coins, commonly known as nickels. The first type was the round one with the beaver, the second type was 1942 in tombac with the beaver, the third type was the V for Victory in tombac, the fourth was V for Victory in steel and the last was the commemorative for Nickel 1781-1951 in nickel. We can offer a collection of all five types of George VI nickels in Fine or better condition. A wonderful little set and more and more difficult to put together these days. Our agent had to make two trips to Canada to get these sets.

We never thought we would ever see these yellow bags of 501 different world coins again. Over 40 years ago we sold them and they sold quickly. Even then, to put 501 different world coins together was a most impressive task. Our friend David at Educational Coin Co. found 300 of these collections that he had put away over 40 years ago and had forgotten. You have to remember he has over 300 million coins and banknotes in stock. We have known him for a very long time and nothing surprises us about him or his company. These are the most fantastic world coin collections that you can ever find, after all 40+ years ago what was common is now very difficult to find. Most of the coins are circulated but many are Uncirculated condition. Just some of the coins included are: Timor, Cambodia, East Germany, Viet-Nam, French Polynesia, Qatar, French Somalia, Netherlands East Indies, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, St. Thomas & Prince, Ireland, South Arabia, San Marino, Uganda, Chile, Fiji, Malaya, Panama, East Africa, Kuwait, India, Mexico, Great Britain, and many many more. 501 different coins, some Uncirculated some circulated, but all put together over forty (40) years ago. We are going to offer the entire collection in the imprinted yellow bag imprinted ‘Seven-Seas Treasure Collection’ from all over the world and all through the ages’ for only £195; that is less than 40 pence a coin. We think these collections are fantastic; what was available more than 40 years ago is just not available now. Please do not miss out.
