PCGS Set Registry Update

Israel has produced commemorative coins in precious metals on a yearly basis since the late 1950s. Many historic, cultural, and national themes were commemorated throughout the years. One coin design that is quite interesting is a 10 lirot coin from 1971 that commemorates science.

The obverse displays a structure that is a stylized-box design nuclear reactor; the reverse portrays a cogwheel that is spinning with atoms. Two versions of the coin exist in a circulation strike. One variant has no mintmark, struck at the Utrecht Mint in the Netherlands. The version with the star mintmark was struck at the Jerusalem Mint in Israel. Both coins are of equal value and can be found online or at shows for a slight premium over the price of silver. PCGS has recently listed a set titled Israel 10 Lirot Commemorative Set, Circulation Strikes and Proof (1967-1974) for collectors to consider building.

Additional sets from various countries have been added, so please feel free to browse the PCGS Set Registry when you have a chance and you may find there is a set for almost anyone to build. The PCGS Set Registry offers many different sets from all over the world and specialty sets for advanced collectors. We appreciate your continued patronage, all the best in building your sets, and Happy Collecting, folks!
