Quote:well I am actually working on more than one US coin set. The Kennedy half's is one of them. The others are Jefferson nickel (13 coins to complete it), Roosevelt dimes (15 coins to complete it), State Quarter Series P and D (5 coins to complete it). Really an amazing accomplishment considering how far away you are from the USA. Many right here have trouble completing sets and you did yours from way, way over there. And working on all those other sets too is really amazing. However, I too suggest you consider changing to an Album over Folders. Lots of different manufacturers of Albums out there. Folders are really not the best for long term storage. |

Quote: Quote: EgCollector How do you do that, as those two you mentioned are the main problems I always face to buy any coin online! I previously posted sites online where I have purchased coins. Not sure if they ship internationally. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/..88381#728874 Thanks Fuzzy, I will try these links  |

just carl Thanks Carl for your nice words, and I am really hoping to place them in Dansco albums ..... I have asked one of my friends in Michigan to help me with that, he is supposed to buy me the albums and send them to Chicago and then I will manage to take them from there. If I could do so..... it will be a 4 year dream come true and will be quite an accomplishment |

EgCollector, Nice set of Kennedy's you have there! Quite a feat, considering the distance! I've gotten a lot of nice mint sets at http://www.libcoin.com/ and have been very satisified with them. I think they ship internationally as well. I collect Ikes, and have ended up with a complete collection of Kennedy's from '73 to '78 due to the mint sets I bought for the Ikes. After seeing what you have done, I think I will begin work on a complete Kennedy collection after I finish with my Ikes. |

OR I could suggest another offer.... is that you cut the coin off the mint set and send me only the coin and by this, you will feel the guilt and I dont LOL ... don't worry so much ... many USA collectors purchase Mint Sets for the exact purpose of liberating the coins for their albums. There is no worry or problem in doing this. Anyways ... my original offer still stands ... I am willing to ship to you in Egypt (not your Aunt) an entire original 1970 USA Mint Set (10 MS coins total) in the original US Mint packaging so that you can fill that 1970-D Kennedy hole ... all at my cost and expense without a penny from your pocket. You will need to cut the coin out and place in your lovely album collection. Nothing asked for or needed in return ... except the photo of your 1970-D hole filled.  David I have received the mint set today and it looks great thank you very much David.  |

Wonderful photo! The photo of that hole filled gives me much joy ... knowing that I was able in a small way to support your exceptional accomplishment of the complete set from Egypt! I offer to you some dancing fruit for finally have the set complete.     And remember ... we agreed all the guilt belongs to me alone. Wish I had been considerate enough to ask about your other needs ... could have included some of them as well in the package. My apology for not thinking of that. Very much appreciate the photo.
