StarEagle 2013 Tuvalu Forest Babies

Owner:  Shalako
Last Modified:  3/23/2023
Set Description
Tuvalu has a Primary (the only one) S50c, 2012- Date, Proof set that has 32 sets within that category. It has presently 77 eligible coin slots and is basically a dumping ground for all things Tuvalu that are S50c. There are probably at least a half a dozen different sets that could be carved out of those 77 slots. I have asked NGC to create at least 4 new sets and while I wait, I have decided to create custom sets. Advised by NGC Registry that "small sets" are out and will not be created!! So "custom sets" are the only option available for these coins and other from TUVALU!!

Set Goals
This is a 3-coin series and the coins were produced by the Perth Mint for the country of Tuvalu. Who doesn't like baby animals?
