<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 522308, member: 39&quot;]Hehe, I bought the British special 2009 coins (Kew, Darwin, Burns, Henry VIII) the other day. Had to trash quite a lot of &quot;packaging&quot; until I finally had the coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So yes, I see your POV but over here some €2 commems (BU/unc version) come in folders or coin cards while others do not. Also, when the Dutch Mint sells coins from other euro countries, it basically acts as a coin dealer, not as an issuer. So you can expect to get from them what you would also get from a store ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The proof version of the Finnish &quot;Human Rights&quot; coin does come in a box, with some kind of certificate from the Finnish Mint. This dealer in Germany for example charges €16.50 for the proof piece: <a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/2fi082.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/2fi082.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/2fi082.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Postage to the UK may be quite a lot though. If you want details about your coin, you can save or print this page from the Official EU Journal: <a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2008:246:0009:0009:EN:PDF" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2008:246:0009:0009:EN:PDF" rel="nofollow">http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2008:246:0009:0009:EN:PDF</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Italian €2 coins, I don&#039;t think they are available as proof pieces. Would have to check though. <i>(Edit: They are not.)</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
