    I got no. 343. As to collectibility personally I would think depends.
    The ones with 1000 issue limit sell out within a few days.
    The 2006 2015 and 2019 sets are sold out.
    All others are still available that is 2007 09 12 and 16.
    If you are collecting proof commemorative/special €2 coins well the only place to get them is in the proof sets that is with the exception of th 2016 Proclamation one which was issued as a single proof as well as in the year set.

    Anyone know of the 2019 proof set being for sale anywhere? Have a baby on the way and thought it'd be a nice present but missed it. I know the regular set is out next week but looking for the more collectible proof set.

    Anyone ever use this site?

    Well I took a chance on that Eurocoinhouse. I paid with Paypal so if anything goes wrong I'll claim through them.

    Will keep an eye on Ebay too. Those Dutch/German sellers, are they just dealers? Do they have a supply from Central Bank or are they just buying them through the website and selling them on?

    How much did the proof set retail at?

    Those guys are dealers, I've often items for sale from those guys about the same time they are released to the public (as inflated prices mind you)

    I bought the proof set from these. Arrived today, €110 including delivery. No. 400+.

    It says 'Royal Dutch Mint'. Were they all made there? So many sets on ebay from the same seller. Do they buy wholesale?

    Not too bad at all for a sold out set - it would have cost ~€95.50 retail direct from the Central Bank.

    The CB don't mint the sets themselves, its usually another larger European mint, and the Dutch Mint make a lot of sets alright. I doubt the seller has that many sets, probably more like many listings

    Thanks.

    I don't mean the same seller I bought from. Although that Eurocoinhouse still seem to be selling them. The seller I've seen on Ebay has had at least 5. Suppose that's not a huge number but they've been adding more as they sell them. I stopped bidding at €85 (+ €15 delivery) on a few of them.

    Eurocoinhouse are selling the normal UNC Dáil Eireann one for €3.95. Don't even see that on the collectorcoins.ie site. Also this one here, a proof of the 2016 proclamation €2. Don't see it on the Irish site but they still have it.

    https://www.eurocoinhouse.com/en/country/ireland/ireland-2-euro-2016-proclamation-of-the-irish-republic-proof

    Anyway, if anyone is still looking for the 2019 proof set, I could recommend them. Dispatch took a few days but delivery was quick.

    Edit: Oh, and just to add, while researching if the site was genuine, I read that the guy who did run it had died earlier this year. His family are running the business now so it kind of explains the delay. I had queried the delay and, going by the name, I presume it was his son who replied.

    Edit2: Had another look on collectorcoins and they do have the Proclamation one I mentioned above. Turns out it is quite a mark up for that coin.

    Got the Trans-Atlantic coin in the post post today, it's pretty nice, I'm glad I got it. Standards are definately slipping at the CB though, just a nasty sticker on the slip case now, it used to be printed :(

    485650.jpg

    It's getting to the stage where I'm buying just for the sake of keeping the collection up-to-date, rather than because they are the best produced sets coins ever

    Would totally agree I'm the same as regards buying and I think there is very little interest on the part of the CB in coin collectors

    Is the transatlantic coin sold out?
    It is so annoying that they never seem to put up a notice to say it is sold out. At some stage the link stops working and you just have to guess that maybe it is sold out (or maybe just the link id broken and I should try again tomorrow)!

    My bad! I went in through a different section of the site and was able to buy the coin.

    The Rory Gallagher coin sold out quickly, this may be the same, heard it announced on RTE radio new at one today. Price though may deter some customers.

    Would this be worth buying as investment?

    It depends on what kind of return you are expecting, and over what period. Generally though, the advice would be no - they are only limited edition so the Central Bank don't get stuck with them, rather then being an indication of rarity

    Definitely is. Would be mostly coin collectors normally looking. Now you have Phil Lynott collectors and I'd say there'd be more of them.

    Also, people looking to make a quick buck.

    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!!!
