Michael Collins 90th aniversary coin

Pablo Sanchez

I see the central bank is due to release a Michael Collins €10 coin to mark his 90th aniversary.

I have never bought one of these commerative coins and i was wondering if anyone had some info, ie while its denominated at €10 what might the actual price be?

Without knowing how many will be minted, are these things usually oversubscribed? and if so how do you go about putting your name down for one?

And finally, does anyone know anything about a likely release date?

Cheers guys

See here: http://www.centralbank.ie/paycurr/collector/Pages/Coinsets.aspx

€10 coins usually sell for around €40, and they generally only mint 10,000

As for being oversubscribed; I regularly get advertisements from them with discounts on older things that they're trying to get sold, but it'll depend on the demand, so I wouldn't risk waiting for a discount
