For anyone interested the 2012 proof coin set has gone on sale from The Central Bank and the coin collector unit.

They really are a useless shower at the CB though aren't they, they only produce a proof set for years that have a commemorative 2 Euro coin (except the first in 2006) and they only produce a commemorative 2 Euro when forced to for the Eurowide joint issues.

I think we are the only original member country not to have released a commemorative €2 coin.
From this month on I believe each country is now allowed to release two commemoratives each year (plus a common).
I wonder if we will ever get around to releasing one.

Hi,

Are the 2012 Proof Coin Set still on sale by the CB or do you someone selling a set or two.

Thanks,
Michael

The cheapest way to get one, is over the counter at the Central Bank. This is fine if you work in Dublin city centre. Otherwise you can order them from the coin collector unit using the link below or just ring them on 1890307607. Unfortunately you will have to pay registered post charges as thats the only way they dliver them.

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these before they are all sold out, I'v never purchased one of the proof sets to date, not sure why

I'm limited budget i suppose, anyway, iv spent €102 this ordering my 2 coin set for Michael Collins 90th Anniversary

Backfire,

I don't imagine they will sell out on the 2012 proof sets any time soon, the 2009 and 2007 ones are still available to buy on their site. If you wanted to get one now you could ring and try to get it added to your Michael Collins order. It would only be an extra 2.50 for postage.

Thanks DMcL1971 got the 2012 proof set from CB, but I picked the wrong day to go in. it was the release day of the Michael Collins coins it was mad in there. i had to keep telling then that I did not want the Collins coins asthey kept trying to put into that queue:D.

Backfire hope you ordered a few days ago & got a order number as the 2 coin Michael Collins set is sold out now.

DMcL1971

That was unfortunate timing Michael. I went in there yesterday to pick up a gold and a silver Collins coin and it was nice and quiet.

Yeah my order went in the week before they came out.

The central bank are normally slow for processing these orders, but mine was looked at before release and reserved. Plus, the central bank took €102 off my credit card yesterday

No I am getting mine alright, because if I dont....:mad:

You get individual coins? Not the double set I take it.

I got the double set on pre order and was not going to get the individual ones until next month when I got paid. But when the double set sold out so quick I thought I better get the individual ones now in case they are gone by next month.
