I've added a few of the early Vatican coins to my growing collection recently (I currently have 11 Vatican coins) and it's re-kindled my passion for them. Does anyone know of a good site where I can buy the early coins (1929-1945).

Not a site, but I may have a few of them. Which do you need?
Not sure I can afford that at the moment. Give me a few months. I'm looking to fill in the smaller denominations up to 5 lire before tackling the big boys. I think I may have found a couple of e-bay stores that have some of them so I'll check them out. The Vatican ones are not too bad to get because there's only a handful of KM#s from 1929-1945 (about 30-40 coins from memory) and they're usually reasonably priced.

Yep. One of the reasons I made it my first collections by km#. It's slow work though, but pretty cheap. Plus they look very cool. I have a 10 lire, but I'd rather not swap it as it's a 1929 and I feel they are currently grossly undervalued. I'd even pick up a few more of them.
Quite easy to find them in nice condition too. I feel the whole series is somewhat undervalued for some reason.
I did have around 24 for sale, but only 10 left at the moment, have a look at my Ebay store, I think I have the 1 Lira 1933 - 1934 Jubilee Holy Year still left.
