    I cancelled, easily done. Reflected on cost and decided no. Nice to have option to cancel and get refund.

    Got the coin, thought nice case - nope, plastic. Would thought for the price it would been something a bit nicer like the Explorers set

    LOL is it sold out already

    Dracula coin now back in stock

    https://www.collectorcoins.ie/en/bram-stoker-dracula-15-silver-proof-coin.html

    I would have bought every single coin, with the exception of the double explorer, until the Holland Submarine one, when the poor quality of the coin, and the subsequent poor designs really put me off.
    I have bought a few since, but you would have to wonder what the Central Bank are about.

    Is there any information on their overall plans for the year? Could this be it, or is there likely to be a few silver ones or even a double set?

    I am not that impressed on the 2019 An Chead Dail coin
    Poor design
    Cheap plastic box
    Rip off price
    Poor service from Collector Coin

    According to their newsletter yesterday they are planning to issue the following:

    Proof Set 2019 with the €2 circulating Dáil commemorative coin - Quarter 2 2019
    Annual Mint set 2019 with regular €2 and Dail €2 coins - Quarter 2 2019


    Two €15 Silver Proof coins - 100 years of transatlantic flight (June 2019) and second Modern Musicians coin (Aug 2019) - Phil Lynott - marking 70th anniversary of his birth.

    Wonder what the mintage of the 2019 will be and of course price.
    Only second commemorative €2 issued by Ireland.
    With the exception of the 2006 and 2015 proof sets the rest are still available from CC.
    Hope they keep the mintage low.

    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)
