Even that I deal with stamp for more than 25 years around, rarely that I come across items like this issue, which recently, I sold to my client that I will be free to say, is collector "Who Know What Philately Is"!
No more, and no less!
About what is talking?! For sure, about stamp, that MUST be included in any serious collection, if - IF - we (collectors) want to leave collection worth, to our future generation!
Here it is one short description:
"First Coin" issue #1-9 (in all categories), that is issued by Israel on 1948 yr. Some stamp from this set come to my hand also before, but never in this perfect condition, even that 1-6 is really great condition, I didn't manage to find last three value in mint condition, but was happy to have 7-9 in perfectly used condition, that will fit well in my client hands! If it is worth this investment? I think - yes! Why? See, Scott for 2006 valued it at: 1-6 mint + tab = 210.00 $, and 7-9 mint + tab = 4750.00 $.
Searching around most know auction and dealers, I didn't manage to find prices in this range and 1-6 is worth around 550.00 $, 7-9 used only I managed to find, and this go for 1900.00 $.
What is more important, is that for this kind of investment, preferable is to have it examined and certified - because this money is worth it! Here in picture, You have it shown - and I think it is great! Yes, certification will cost You additional expenses, that can reach, for this set - more or less between 250-300.00 $.
Worth this money? 2006 year 210.00 $ - 2012 year it is 550.00 $ - just don't say to me that it is "worth how much collector is willing to pay", because You and I know that it is worth it, even that not every collector is willing to pay it!

Right now I'm following ebay auction for three top values of set, 250, 500 i 1000 values. MNH and with tabs each and prices are 198, 220 and 350. Three days to go, we'll see where it lands :-D Would be delighted to get this as they are probably highlight for my money on stamps collection.
Tockipo - Your comment intrigued me, so I visited eBay, and see that some very nice samples of 7/9 are there! Price asked - ranged from 2 000.00 $ to 9 000.00 US$ per three high values! So, my suggestion is to avoid this kind of purchase, as very high asking price, and in some no certificate included! There is even one set of fake print, that is good - 0.99 $ asking price (funny in all aspect). So, when is this level purchase in question, I will suggest to do it just from trusted/personal dealer!
