In addition to those listed above, the Central Bank also sold sets of coins at the coin fair each year. I haven't included these as they were never available from Dame Street or the Collector Coin Unit. There have also been some sets issued as gifts for Central Bank employees only.

If anyone spots any errors or knows of any additions, give me a shout and I will update the table.

Can anyone confirm if the Dublin coin fair issued an unc & proof souviner set in 2007. And if so did they do this for any other of the proof set years like 2006, 2009 & 2012

In 2007 there was both an uncirculated and a proof set released in the coin fair envelopes. They did not do this any other year.

In fact, I think I feel another table coming on!!!

Did you get an email confirmation? I'm worried my payment didn't communicate back to the site. My order says pending in my account?

Says in my account that the order is pending.

The same here tho it says the Transaction was sucessful "Your transaction has been successful but there was a problem connecting back to the merchant's web site. Please contact the merchant and advise them that you received this error message."

laros

The transaction is pending in my debit card accoint

eh i dunno

Can't get past checkout stage myself

Trachycarpus

Got as far as add to cart but cart empty. After a number of goes, bounced out. Have got back to account a few times but can't get any further. Most recent message is site is 'Site is not secure' ! Bit of a fiasco!

Just keep trying. Once I got in process seems to be ok, ordered, email confirmation and payment pending on my credit card when I checked my online banking.

Just let it work it’s way through. I did try the refresh route initially but that seemed to hang me.
Once I got on to the site on my successful attempt I just let it work it’s way through on completed order eventually.
Although I won’t be happy til I actually receive my order given the circumstances!!!

Got the same, shows in online banking. Tried again now and successfully placed an order with email confirmation received. I'm assuming the first one didn't go through.

Ordered 2 and have paid. Got the same message re problem with Merchant site. Haven't received email yet. Hopefully went through as huge Lizzy fans

When you get to the order page and the disc spins, it takes a while before it goes to the check out page so better to wait rather than refresh

eh i dunno

On the check out page 40 mins now

Rubberlegs

It took me about 50 minutes to complete and then I get this

. Bank details say its pending.

laros

Notice I Due to high level of demand, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with the www.collectorcoins.ie website this morning. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

This is on the central bank site

I ordered twice and one says processing but the other says pending. Looks like the confirmation of payment didn't communicate back to the Central Bank. I doubt they will manually match them so probably only one of my orders went through.

laros

I just went back in to try again and I'm getting an out of stock message on the website.

ice.cube

Sold out message came up for me briefly

Me too. Checked bank and email and nothing so going to try again.

fantafanta

Sold out for me too, ffs.

Trachycarpus

Just got in again now and site says sold out. So I hope my pending order confirms!

jdelis

Total failure...

[Deleted User]

Disaster.

This is the first year I've seen such a crazy demand from the off. I'm raging I didn't get one.

jdelis

It stuck for ever in the very last page of the checkout...

When I tried to refresh it was gone!

G2016

Even though it says sold out, keep an eye on it over the next few hours and days in case they become available again, just in case all the problems people had with incomplete and possible duplicate orders might have clogged the system up in some way and had resulted in a false “sold out”.
It’s a long shot I know, but .....

ice.cube

Such a disaster, what a joke!

eh i dunno

I'm still at the checkout screen an hour later.

Rubberlegs

Just went back in for a look and the Buy Now option is still up. Still waiting on email confirmation here.

So will Luke Kelly have a larger run? Rory and Phil were 3,000 each.
