Irish Euro Gold and Silver Commemorative coins

scoooby

Which coins are now at a lower price than when originally sold?

Rory Gallagher coin sold out!

Trachycarpus

That was fast! Just received my coin this morning and I must say I really like it.

60 yo-yo - Hmmmm

50% dearer than any other silver coin (or used to be that is)

Restrict the numbers and increase the price - not liking this from them.

Captainaxiom

It’s like their actively trying to discourage people from collecting.

Actual Silver content is approximately 12 euros worth

I have to say, that is one of the worst looking Irish coins I have seen, terrible design

Spocker

Someone thinks it's worth it!

LOL is it sold out already

Captainaxiom

Can they still be purchased from the central bank or have you to order online now.

They only sell them online now.

Captainaxiom

€60 and another €5 for postage makes them very expensive .

fritzelly

1000 sold already - has does that match with previous sold out coins?

Captainaxiom

The majority of that 1000 has probably been sold to dealers

I'm ok with the Dracula coin, could have been done better on first impression but after reading the spiel with the newsletter I can see what the intention was in the B movie styling.

Price wise I rarely buy any more as the cost has crept up too much imo and for the most part I think many of the recent designs have been poor, for me and I cant justify buying these coins over putting money in to other hobbies i get more enjoyment from.

Not forgetting the VAT is another €11 or so!

Sitamoia

VAT is 23%, so approximately 15 euro total per troy ounce. These coins are 92.5% silver and they weigh 28.28g which is less than a troy ounce.

Price keeps going up and where is the image from - surely not of the coin? An artists rendition or the artists rendition?

Was saying to a friend the other day the Bram Stoker coin should have been a double gold/silver set each depicting a scene from the story - would have been a lot more collectable.

These proofs are becoming more and more expensive at the same time as the silver is going down. Strange choice for a series that has almost all the coins of the last five years still available in the bank (with the only exception of the Rory Gallagher coin). And this despite cutting the mintage in almost half.

Not very sure about their strategy really...

I don’t think they are either

First day of sales today. Any info on how it is going?

Captainaxiom

Is there a promo code for the postage. Wasn’t there one for the Dracula coin ?

/Edit/ Found a pic:

Have to say, not the nicest coins I've ever seen

Do they usually release plans for the upcoming year’s commemorative coins at the start of the year or do you have to wait and see what comes?
I would like to get a double set this year, but I guess some years they don’t do the double. I don’t want to hold out for a double and find the singles are sold out!

Spocker

We usually manage to get a sniff here, from some boardsies who know these things, but the Central Bank don't put out schedules IIRC

fritzelly

Anyone know what the price is likely to be? I'm expecting around the 400 euro mark...
