Where is the best place to dispose of / sell Israeli coins?

[James_OldeTowne]

As part of a collection, I acquired a fairly large collection of Israeli coins, primarly piefort proof and mint sets, but also some miscellaneous put-together sets and medals. Any ideas who would be a strong buyer for this type of material? THANKS in advance!!!!!

There are no strong buyers for this stuff. It usually sells for about 10% of catalog value or melt.

JamminJ,our local specialist in Israeli BU rolls, is the best I can think of, unless you want to deal with gmarguli. Good luck with that.

Only a few more bags of that [embarrassing lack of self control] to unload.

Believe it or not, the deal was profitable!

From what I understand, many of these coins are used as ballast on ships, since it's cheaper than rocks.

I heard the same thing. You can take them to a metal recycler, high quality aluminum is at about $1.70 a pound these days.

If you have any of these, I may be interested. Especially the 1970 since I still need it for my type set.
