Israel/British Mandate Coins

They are certainly interesting from a historical standpoint. I only suspect their visibility is lower than many highly marketed coins at shows being touted as "investments". When investor mania dies down, I suspect people will resume interest in coins of historical interest such as these.

G'day,
apparently, all one needs is 59 coins to cover all combinations of denominations and dates. Dansco make an album for the set.
I've made a note of this as a possible target for future acquisitions. I have had two coins since I was a boy, which I assume came from the till in my Dad's business.
I have seen a set of 59 for sale: as I recall, the asking price was US$3,000. That struck me as a lot more than I would expect to pay.
Rather than obsess over the 59, a set of 1927 coins, and the 1942 bronzes would make a representative "type set" of nine coins.
I'm not aware that any coins in the series are particularly difficult to obtain.
I've never met anyone with any interest in the subject, except the OFEC collectors, of course.
I gather that the notes, on the other hand, are difficult to obtain, and expensive.

They're fairly common here in Australia. Many of our diggers spent time in Palestine during or after WWII, in transit to other theatres of war, and brought home a few coins from there as war souvenirs. I recall helping a schoolmate of mine discover that he had a scarcer date among the coins given him by his grandfather; the 1934 20 mils, if I recall correctly.
