[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3659561, member: 112"]Not only are bank sets fairly common, they are international in scope. Meaning the banks in many countries do this, and have done so for going on 200 years in some cases. Take British Maundy Coin sets for example, like this one - [IMG]http://www.adhamilton.co.uk/uploads/3/4/3/0/34308015/pc270238_orig.jpg[/IMG] Every single one of those, regardless of date and going as far back as you can go, was put together and sold by a bank in Great Britain. The Royal Mint has never issued a single one ! There are however special sets that the Royal Mint has issued, like this one I used to own, a 1911 Proof Set. [ATTACH=full]983769[/ATTACH] It is the responsibility of collectors to know and be aware of such things.[/QUOTE]
