    Had to google to find this thread again

    Only just received the "newsletter"


    Is everyone buying this - doesn't seem to be selling that quick



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭pawrick


    Just spotted the newsletter in my spam, noticed the stock (2000 issued) is limited when I checked the site. I bought a couple of them as I like it, one to keep and one to swap at some point.

    I emailed them to ask what the story is with releases in the series for 2021 and received the following:

    Hello $hifty

     

    Just to confirm that there won’t be any coins issued in the future to commemorate 2021 – we should have details of our 2022 coin programme available shortly on the website – www.collectorcoins.ie

     

    Kind regards

    [removed]

    Pretty disappointed, to be honest.

    Hi,

    Anyone know why there is no 2018 Baby set for sale on


    Thanks!



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭pawrick


    Received this today, note people will need to re-register. A price hike also on older coins or at least on the last one i had a receipt to hand for.


    Dear customer,We are delighted to announce that our collector coin website www.collectorcoins.ie has been updated and we hope that you will enjoy the new look and layout.


    2022 Collector Coin Programme

    Our next coin scheduled to be launched in late July, is a beautiful silver proof coin paying tribute to the remarkable life of Dr Kathleen Lynn and her political, medical and social achievements. Dr Lynn established St Ultan’s hospital in 1919, which became the specialist hospital for the BCG vaccination in Ireland. She worked tirelessly with Dublin’s inner-city poor and in particular deprived mothers and children. Dr Lynn was politically active during the 1913 Dublin Lock-Out, the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence. She was Chief Medical Officer of the Irish Citizen Army and a member of the executive committee of the Irish Women’s Suffragette and Local Government Association.

     

    The coin, presented in a box with certificate of authenticity, containing background text and images will be available on www.collectorcoins.ie. When the sale date is confirmed, we will send an update to all newsletter subscribers. This is a unique opportunity to add to your coin collection or indeed to buy this coin as a thoughtful gift.

     

    We also have a number of other exciting coin products scheduled for later this year and we are looking forward to announcing details of these really soon via our newsletter.

     

    Other Collector Coin Products

    We also have a limited quantity of collector coin products issued in previous years commemorating a range of significant Irish people, events and historical milestones. Such milestones include 100 years since Women won the Right to Vote and 100 years of Transatlantic Aviation. Literary and artistic figures are also recognized, such as brothers W. B and Jack B Yeats. The artist and architect Eileen Gray, who was one of the leading members of the modern design movement, is recognized as part of the Europa Star series coin programme. She made a huge contribution to the international style of twentieth century Europe.

     

    Customer re-registration

    Please note you will need to re-register as a customer on the updated site again via the home page www.collectorcoins.ie. We do apologize for this inconvenience.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭pawrick

  • Moderators Posts: 6,853 ✭✭✭Spocker


    Don't forget the Luke Kelly coin is on sale since 2pm today - it took me 25 minutes to get an order through, what a shocking website

    Managed to get one around 2:07. Just cleared one out of my basket on another browser i was trying to buy from.They haven't sold out yet.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,510 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Website is working now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,257 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Looks to be sold out now

    Hi there,

    Just wondering if anybody is interested in exchanging a Rory Gallagher coin for a Phil Lynott coin? I managed to get two Phil Lynott coins when they came out but missed the Rory Gallagher one.

    Cost of buying the Rory Gallagher coins from private sellers now are fairly prohibitive so would be great to find someone to do a straightforward swap.

    Niall.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Pugani53


    Hi Niall, I was at coin fair last Sunday in Dublin & swapped a Phil Lynott for a Rory Gallagher coin but had to put €100 with it, that was the best price I could get, highly unlikely you’ll get a straight swap but you might be lucky🤞



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 NiallArmstrong


    Hey Pugani,

    Thanks a lot for getting back to me with that info. Very helpful.

    Looks like I have missed the boat on the coin fair for another year. I presume it was the one in the RDS you were at? I don't suppose you know of any others coming up? Google doesn't yield any obvious answers for me.

    Appreciate the pointers.

    Niall.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Pugani53


    Yea that was the rds, there will be another there in about 6 mths, there is an antique fair in limerick racecourse on 19th,20th November & there will be at least 2 coin dealers there,



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 NiallArmstrong


    Thanks so much for that. Really appreciate the help. I have Limerick in the calendar. I'll take my chances there!



  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭Rollercoaster


    I have 2 proof sets, one from 2007 and another from 2009. Each of the proof sets includeds a commerative 2 Euro from that year

    I am looking to exchange either for a Phil Lynott coin but I would also consider selling these if someone needs a proof set for their collection.

    Please PM me if you are interested.



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,332 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    Good luck on anyone wanting to do that swap when the Phil Lynott is going for a whole lot more than the proof sets are worth (even combined)

    The proof sets and Phil Lynott coins all had limited availability and have all sold out on https://www.collectorcoins.ie

    The cental bank selling price for 2007 and 2009 proof sets was €80 each which is more than the single Phil Lynott coin at €64.99. As all these coins have increased in value this is a fair swap for someone with a spare Phil Lynott coin.
