Coin Sets of all Nations

Hello,

Does anybody else have any of this sets.

Yeah, I have a few: Mongolia (8), Turks and Caicos (2), Mozambique (6), Djibouti (7), Tuvalu (7), Yemen (5), Maldives (6), Falklands (7), St. Helena (6) (just like yours).

Nice, I would love to see some photos if possible.

They're not full sets are they.  Vanuatu have 100 Vatu coins as well as the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 vatu coins

Some are and some aren't. I don't really know how they chose which coins got into the sets.

It's a bit silly because the Vanuatu set you have only has 6 coins and they skipped the top value, which isn't really that hard to find, whereas the Oman set beside it has 8 coins and they have all the coins except for the silver higher values.

I took a closer look and the Vanuatu set is a 1983 set and in 1983 there was no 100 Vatu coin. Which explains why it is not included.

I have a few of them. I am after the coin set for Tuvalu but they are always so expensive.

Are these the Franklin mint ? I was looking at the St. Helena, Tuvalu and Solomon sets but over-priced for just bUnc coins (at least the ones I watched were) the proof sets were just as much.

Ya these are part of the Franklin mint collection. I don't know how they are priced but I know some are more than others.

I still have all mine in original packaging, but was wondering if carefully opening them up and carefully putting them into 2x2's would do any good or bad... Thoughts?

If you take them out of the packaging they lose value. If you remove them they have an added value on top of the coin value because collectors try to collect them all (like me) but if you remove them you only have the value of the coins. If you don't want them, sell them to me.

​Hi Eugene,

I hope all is well. I just found this old thread. Like you, I have a bunch of the Coin Sets of All Nations and am wondering if I should carefully open them to put the coins into 2x2 flips and then into my albums. I am not crazy about the coin cards, and prefer to keep everything organizing in my albums. What did you end up doing with your Coin Sets of all Nations?

Thanks and let me know next time you are in Miami. Happy holidays!

​Some of these sets are on sale very often in my country for around 7-10€ each, but I always considered them too expensive, because in most cases the coins in them are very common.
How much does a Tuvalu set worth from these sets? One is on auction now, closing tomorrow, bidding is on 25€ right know.

The only value added to these very common coins is a piece of cardbord...

​Hi BSmith,

I got Tuvalo and 8 others from tough countries at a local coins show in Miami for $25 in total. EURO 25 seems very high for the Tuvalo set alone, in my opinion. A fair price, in my opinion is between $5-10, in line with the cumulative value of the Tuvalo coins. I agree with the below comment that the cardboard really adds little value.

Thank you.
