VickySilver Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I have wondered about Royal Mint struck proof sets for such entities as Guernsey, Falklands, Surinam and Jamaica:they will quote a mintage of 500-10,000 sets but occasionally I have suspected that this was authorized mintage as opposed to numbers sold.Also, were they occasionally released to Central Banks of these countries? God knows what would happen to those.... Quote
VickySilver Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 No takers on this, with facts, opinions, or?I really have not seen certain coins or sets as frequently as they should given the listed mintage figures.I also note that one example would be the 1987 Surinam set which came up for sale recently with alleged mintage in the thousands and one I have never seen before. I believe it brought $150 or sobut just stayed on the sidelines....Where are all the other sets? With the Central Banks, in storage at the Royal Mint, melted, destroyed, or perhaps struck to approximate demand (my personal favourite option but not proven)? Quote
