VickySilver Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Hi all, has anybody confirmation that Jamaica proof sets of 2002 exist? They are listed in Krause, but Bank of Jamaica and Royal Mint where they should have been struck do not offer information. I would be interested in information or even purchase. Quote
bagerap Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 After 2001, there is no actual record of a BOJ issue. A supposedly 2002 set was offered last year in Toronto or Vancouver, forget which, but withdrawn before auction. All I remember is that it wasn't Empire Auctions or Waddingtons, so probably Vancouver. Quote
VickySilver Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Yes, that jibes with my knowledge. Not clear if they are out there or not. Not many, not much demand. That makes them interesting. Do you collect these?I need the 1991 as well, and missed the one on ebay not so long ago... Quote
bagerap Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 I don't collect these but someone has asked me to find a few different sets for him. Also according to Krause, the set doesn't include KM# 185, the silver proof Millenium $50 which has no date but was issued 2002. Quote
VickySilver Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 That makes them a challenge, since they are not all that attractive and they need to lose the patriots theme, just like the USA needs to change IMO.Well, I will be a buyer for the 91 or 02 sets. BTW, PM me for a few other dates of sets that I have doubles of... Quote
VickySilver Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) My Krause says that KM 185 is included in the 2002 set - if it exists. No further confirmation on this.Another question that I have hinted at before:If mintage is listed at 500, or whatever it may be, is that the Royal Mint authorized mintage or the actual net mintage?Also, how (or is it arbitrary) does the Royal Mint distributes these sets? How many sold by them versus how manygo to the Central Bank, B of J in this instance? Leftovers? What becomes of them if there are, and are these includedin the released "mintage" figure?I hope a few people read this post and can comment...If not will post these questions separately.

VickySilver Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Well, this is NOT a popular topic!Will note that a 1996 Jamaica proof set just sold on US Ebay recently. Damn! Now I need that one as well. I wonder which other years might be out there?Still no confirmation of the 2002 set. Might a 1997 be out there as well? Quote
