jfrederick New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 4:23 pm Just wondering if there is anyone else on the forum who is interested in collecting FAO issue coins? I've been working on my collection for a few years now. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 5:42 pm I collect them as part of my world type coin collection. However, I don't make any special effort to collect them all. Report this Post to the Staff

jfrederick New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 08/11/2020 7:56 pm There's an excellent book that catalogs the entire collection - "FAO Coins International Catalog" - for sale on ebay directly from the author. MUCH better than any data list I've found as the book includes good quality photos of every coin, in addition to all of the basic data you'd want and expect. It's large and heavy, printed on nice glossy paper, so the shipping is not cheap. I balked when I first saw the shipping price, but since there is no comparable alternative, I bought it. When the box arrived I could see that he actually paid what he charged, so the shipping charge was totally legit. A worthwhile investment if you're looking to pursue the FAO series. I should add that quite a few of the official FAO coins are not identified as such on Numista. Even Krause and the NGC database has missed a few.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 02:33 am There certainly are FAO coin collectors because I sold a complete set for a very good price at a coin show. I came across it and saw the potential as I picked it up from one person at one show and paid their price. I then took it to another show and doubled my money. Report this Post to the Staff
