World Coin Sets

This set of five State quarters was issued in 2000, which of course was the Millennium. It has the quarters for Massachusetts (some wonderful coin dealers were born there), Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia. A quick note, the New Hampshire quarter shows the Old Man and the Mountain, which since then has literally fallen off the mountain… You get five Proof quarters in the Official United States Mint blue case of issue. It is a beautiful set. You can own the complete set of five in the Official holder for a very reasonable price.

We have been going over our stock and found that we had two sets of American State quarters in Proof condition, which is more than we need. So we are going to offer them at a special price to entice you to add them to your collection. This 2000 set of five Proof State Quarters includes Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Virginia. The 2003 set includes Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri and Arkansas. Both sets are in their original US Mint blue plastic display case, so you can see both sides without having to take them out.

A collection of all five of the United States State Quarters issued in 2005 all in Proof condition. This set is now 13 years old and you get one quarter each from California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, and West Virginia. These are legal tender coins and can be used anywhere as money, but they are in Proof condition and thus are specially struck for collectors. All five coins are in the official United States Mint case of issue.

This is a set for banknote and coin collectors alike. These are miniature bars which represent American banknotes from the $1.00 to the $100.00. The set includes the $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills, a total of seven pieces. Each is a thick bar coated to look like gold and in a rectangular plastic display capsule. Some of them say gold and a weight, but these are only copies, they are NOT gold or the weight listed, they are a miniature replica set, a fun thing to have. They are fantastic and come in a large presentation case marked ‘Bullion Collection’. You get the entire collection of seven replica American banknotes in the handsome presentation case.

In November 1963 President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, Texas. Most of us who are old enough to have been alive at the time remember exactly where we were when we first heard of the killing. Coincraft have issued a unique memento of this man and of his successes. We have kept the price very low in order to make this set accessible to as many collectors as possible. This set is to honour a great man and not to make a lot of money. This collection is only available from Coincraft and it makes an excellent gift to people who remember Kennedy and coin collectors all over the world. There are two unique Kennedy Half Dollars, both legal tender and both capable of being used as real money, rather than the non-circulating legal tender coins that most mints issue today. The first is a one-year type coin issued for America’s bi-centennial and it is in Proof condition, the finest quality available. The second coin is dated 2013 and was issued to honour the 50th anniversary of his death. The collection also includes a United States Kennedy stamp that has actually been used. The package includes details about what Kennedy did, such as founding the Peace Corps, launching the Moon race and fighting for civil rights. There is also a fascinating list of the similarities between the killing of Kennedy and President Lincoln. The collection is priced at just £18.95 and is priced to be given as a gift.

In 2009 it was the Bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. He was US President during the Civil War and was killed for his beliefs. As wise-arse children, we use to joke, ‘so what else happened at the play last night Mrs. Lincoln?’ Lincoln is on billions of coins they make in America every year, the Lincoln Cent. As it is the lowest denomination it is also the most collected. This set was for the 200th anniversary of his birth. There are four different reverse designs and they were struck for only this one year. They are the log cabin where he was born in Kentucky, his formative years in Indiana, his professional life in Illinois and the Presidency in Washington. This set is very difficult to get and it is the first time that we have been able to buy any to offer you. The four different one year only Lincoln Cents in Proof in the Official case of issue.

A friend of ours was cleaning out one of his warehouses and came across a quantity of this important collection. It was issued by the Canadian company ‘Husky Self Service Stations’ in 1970. They were struck by the famous, but no longer making coins, Franklin Mint. Each copper medallion depicts a famous figure from the old West and the collection comes with a booklet telling you who each one is and what they did. Plus a presentation card for displaying the whole collection. Each medallion is still in the original cellophane envelope that it was issued in. You get an eight-page information booklet which not only tells you about the person on the medallion but also an image of how they looked. Plus, a 4-page leaflet telling you about the issue of these medallions. Finally, a full-colour cardboard display card to mount and show off the entire collection of 13 pieces. The ‘cowboys’ depicted are Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Kit Carson, Bat Masterson, Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark. The Native Americans depicted are Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, Black Hawk, Sacajawea, and Crazy Horse. There are a total of 13 different bronze medallions all in pristine, unopened, new condition. And remember this set is 47 years old! We offer the complete set with a display card and information booklet for only £24.50! But there is a limit of 2 sets per order. After all, at this price, they are a gift and they make great gifts! Don’t miss out on this one.

This was issued as part of one of the most popular series of coins in the world, the United States Quarter set. Fifty quarters over 10 years, representing five States that joined the Union. The coins are in Proof condition in a double-sided display case, they are rather beautiful and interesting. Illinois with Lincoln, Alabama with Helen Keller, Maine with a lighthouse, Missouri with the arch and Arkansas wheat and a diamond. Washington is on the front of each coin with ‘In God We Trust’. This set is most interesting as most people don’t know a lot about the States represented.

Uruguay coins are a set you don’t often see. Uruguay, in South America, has a most interesting history. Its capital Montevideo has certainly seen better times, in fact the wealthy people have moved out to a seaside area. The problem is that their coinage is not easy to find or get out of the country. But one of our suppliers has finally done it, but I dare not tell you who managed it. We can offer a set of four brilliant uncirculated coins they are large and the largest is bimetallic. You get the $1 with an armadillo or mulita, $2 with cappincho, $5 with a nandu bird and the $10 bi-metallic with a puma. Not an easy set to find and we have just 100 sets in stock all in brilliant uncirculated.

A fantastic Ten coin set. 10 Centesimos, 20 Centesimos, 50 Centesimos, $1, $2, $5, $10, $50, $100 & $200 dated 1980-1981. Many different sizes and designs, there must have been a lot of monetary problems at the time. Almost impossible to duplicate this set today.

4 coins 2018, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Som, only the 2009 and 2011 issues are listed and they catalogue high, the 100 cats $8 and the 500 cats $15, most interesting set.

When we say that this coin set is difficult to get, is because there is so much inflation that they leave their banknotes literally in the street. You may have seen the photographs in the newspapers with the street littered with banknotes blowing around. These coins are difficult as their metal content is worth many times their face value. In fact, you will not see any coins being used in Venezuela today. They were issued 1989-1990 and are in Uncirculated condition. You get the 25 Centavos, 50 Centavos, 1 Bolivar, 2 Bolivars and the halfcrown sized 5 Bolivars. Each coin has ‘The Liberator’ Simon Bolivar on them. The metal content is many times their face value!
