99% Complete FAO Albums Advice

Afternoon all,

Apologies if this covers territory that's already been covered.

My grandpa died 10 years ago, and my parents have revealed that he kept quite the collection of coins, one item of which appears to be a 99% complete collection of FAO Albums.

They're all meticulously documented by himself, and it appears to contain all 15 albums, with all the relevant coins and panels. Each album is separately documented with the pages, coins, countries of origin, and they're all in their original packaging, with tissue paper between the pages and suchlike. There's 26 pages of lovely hand written notes that I'm in the process of scanning at the moment.

Whilst going through them just now, I note that it doesn't have Page 7
of Album 1 that is mentioned in the article at http://www.numismatics-community.co...icleId=27428 so it's not "complete" in that sense. Also, having counted all 78 pages, there's 490 coins, but no gaps in any of the panels. There's also all the letters and telex notes that came from the FAO, and a loose San Marino coin that was delayed in issuing, but later used to swap for an Ethiopian coin in a different panel

Is there anything I should be looking out for, like any rarities, things that are of particular interest, and so on? Is it worth trying to bring the albums up to the 504 coins mentioned in that article (where to start?!), or break up the collections and sell albums individually? I appreciate it's not one of the "1,379 complete collections", but I feel that it's really pretty close to it.

I'm based in Scotland, and there's not many coin shops around that I know of! We'd also be interested in selling them, if anyone knows of any interested parties.

Many thanks!

Kyle
