[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 5369523, member: 78719"]I don't know as the Royal Mint promised to respond to me on their Facebook site and I also sent the requests through their web site. Not to detract from Mister T's excellent OP, but the RM is very tricky when it comes to actual released number of coins or sets (as opposed to authorised mintage vs. number struck vs. net number actually released). This came up as some readers may recall as I was in a greater than 10 year pursuit to finish collecting the Jamaica proof set series 1985-2002 wherein the 1987-2002 proof sets are all listed as authorised mintage of 500 but some are clearly MUCH scarcer than others.

As I said, NO response from them... PS - I realise that his listed coins are NOT RM products.[/QUOTE]
