<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8313665, member: 19250&quot;]The f15 privy mark is well known as it identifies a bullion coin as being part of the &quot;Fabulous 15 Collection&quot; which is a range of world famous iconic bullion coins from mints around the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each privy marked coin sets it apart from other conventional coins of the same year due to being limited in their mintages.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s effectively a combination of numismatic (collector coins) and bullion (raw metal) worlds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some silver purists are swayed by the limited mintages whilst some numismatists are engaged by the idea of obtaining a collectable coin at a reduced premium compared to some of the sought after proof coins in the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Privy marks were also added to bullion coins to remember certain events. Mostly limited production coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The f 15 were the top bullion producers and given this notoriety by the pureness of their coins.</p><p>So basically you&#039;re paying a premium on a bullion coin for the fact they stamped F-15&nbsp; on 1000 coins struck.</p><p>As the other 9000 or what ever the mintage is dont hold the premium. So more or less the same bs like 1st strike coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another marketing ploy to make you pay $60 @ oz of silver that true value is market price on any given day.</p><p>I will also add that unlike coins minted for commerce bullion coins arent limited by congressal acts.</p><p>Thus mimtages can be adjusted by the mints to meet production needs. </p><p>Thus the mint controls the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
