PennehChaos Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 5:12 pm In surfing ebay for world coins from my birth year (1976), I came up with an issue. I like proof and mint sets. They're pretty. However, there seem to be a variety of hucksters creating their own "mint sets" out of circulated coinage, some of which are reasonably convincing until you hold them in hand. Is there any sort of reference for world official mint sets? Are they covered in Krause? Happy weekend, Report this Post to the Staff

QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 6:43 pm How many coins are there for 1976? I am collecting 1963 and I have about 10 left out of 307 (Not including Gold or patterns) Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 9:37 pm Russian mintset for 1976 can be considerably expensive - I have been looking for one but often can't get one in a reasonable price. The 1976 20 kopek is a key date and that alone goes for 60usd. Figures.

PennehChaos Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 02/03/2009 10:45 am Thanks! I actually don't know how many coins there are for '76, I'm just kicking the idea around at this point... Guess it's time to pick up my old Krause from my folk's house. I've seen the Russian sets on the bay, I did notice they were pricier than I would have expected :( Report this Post to the Staff
