<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 363308, member: 39&quot;]Actually the price for a set of unc coins varies widely. The German 2008 set for example has nine coins (the eight regular pieces plus the annual German States commem) with a total face value of €5.88. That set costs €12 (BU) which I don&#039;t find expensive. (Collectors who want the proof version have to pay €22.)</p><p><br /></p><p>But of course the euro coins from smaller countries, especially the sets, will be more expensive. Especially so when in some year certain denominations, or even all of them, are not issued for circulation but can be had in sets only. For example, last year&#039;s set from Slovenia (with the Finnish mintmark) could also be collected from circulation. This year&#039;s pieces (with the Dutch mintmark) are made for sets only, except the €2 commem which has a higher mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then, it seems that many collectors now want &quot;prestigious&quot; presentation boxes, certificates and all that. Well, you ask for it, you pay for it. Also, collectors who want to be among the first to have a set of the new British coins may well be willing to pay a little more. But I spent £9.95 (about €12.50) for the BU coins, with no shipping charges, and that is nothing to complain about, I think. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
