Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 12/08/2008 11:16 pm As a side collection to my 16-18th Century Taler focus, I am building my 2nd, higher grade, set of Palestine (British Mandate) coins. There are 59 coins in total with various mintages circulated during the British rule of Palestine, prior to Israel's statehood. Popularity is relatively limited among collectors, yet this is a set I collected with my late father and I have a strong sentiment for. I purchased these on ebay from a very professional and efficient seller (who if I am not mistaken is a member of the community - leprecoin). 1 Mil, 1927 100 Mils, 1927 50 Mils, 1931 50 Mils, 1933 20 Mils, 1935 5 Mils, 1939 10 Mils, 1939 10 Mils, 1941 50 Mils, 1927 (See toning) Edited by Zohar444 12/08/2008 11:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 12/09/2008 1:10 pm I really like collections from somewhat smaller places. This is gong to be a tough set to complete, especially in the higher grades. Coins of Palestine must have a broader following than many countries because the coins are not terribly scarce (based on mintages), but priced fairly high. Is there a reason for scarcity of Palestinian coins not reflected in mintages? Were a lot destroyed? Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 12/09/2008 2:04 pm I believe that many were melted as the Brits vacated the territory. The mintages range between 500,000-10,000,000 per coin/date yet fewer survived in good condition. Zohar Report this Post to the Staff
