David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1624 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 8:30 pm Happy New Year Everyone!! Just before X-mas I received 3 sealed sets of Israel Hanukkah coins (1987, 1988 and 1989). Was happily entering them in Numista when I noticed that there was no 1/2 shekel issued for the Hanukkah coins in 1989. I checked the date and it seems to be 1990. How does a 1990 coin end up in a 1989 sealed set? Time travelling? Should I be checking the dates on all the coins? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34576 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 8:53 pm @david, when you say that the sets are sealed, can you clarify whether these are official mint sets with the red background or something assembled in the aftermarket? Maybe add a couple pics to this thread to help us?

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1624 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 10:08 pm Hi Spence, Thanks for the response. They were in a sealed hard plastic case. Numista lists 2 1990 Hanukkah half shekels however one has a 5750 BCE and the other a 5751 BCE. The cardboard coin holder inside the plastic said 5750. Ta Report this Post to the Staff
