<Our item number 123390><B>1958-2005, Complete Collection of Israel&#39;s Silver & Copper-Nickel Commemorative Coins, Proof.</B> A total of 131 proof coins in all series: Independence Day, Hanukka, Purim, Pidyon Haben, Sites in the Holy Land, Flora and Fauna from the Song of Songs, Judaic Art, Biblical Art, and Special Issues. As Israel Sedaka, Deputy Director of the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corp., wrote in 1995: &#34;&#40;Israel&#39;s commemorative coins&#41; serve as goodwill ambassadors of the State of Israel and its people to all corners of the world. They will remain for thousands of years and retain meaning for future generations, just as the ancient coins minted by our people beginning 2,700 years ago continue to evoke historic memories and emotions.&#34; Most of these are choice brilliant proofs, while some are toned, and a few have been affected by PVC because they were stored in soft plastic government holders for long periods. Includes the &#34;key&#34; 1963 Seafarer Independence Day Comm emorative &#40;4,500 minted&#41;, and many coins with mintages under 1,000, issued in recent years. Unfortunately the 1958 Menorah coin has been polished and cannot be called a proof. A remarkable collection that tells the story of the Jewish people. <B>Proof.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,300 - 1,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 123390<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/123390.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/123390N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/123390N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/123390N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
