Most have VERY limited mintages, mostly 100 or less. PLEASE If you&#039;re not sure, please email me through eBay.This auction is for a A SHIRE POST 1402 SixPence MYTHRIL Blue Niobium coin The TOTAL MINTAGE WAS A MERE 12!!! I&#039;ll start the bidding rather low even though these have been almost impossible to find.I was so lucky to find a dream collection of Shire Post coins from a private collection. Even though I just got debt free, I simply couldn&#039;t pass these up, so I pulled out the plastic..over 3k in coins...some are so rare like only 4 or 12 made. It will be hard to give some of these up! Those who know of this coin know that Tom Maringer of Shire Post created these coins and minted them on old manual screw presses, one at a time as coins were made years and years ago. You likely know that Tom created the coins for his love of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and just wanted to have something tangible as a reminder of these incredible stories. But Tom was forced to stop selling the coins. Mintages were pretty minimal. For example, the bronze Haypenny mintage was 300 and 600 for the copper version, but only 72 for the blue niobium, for example. Needless to say, few of these were sold out before Tom was forced to stop selling his Hobbit/LOTR coins. This means all that remain are those in personal collections. I suppose you could call these hard to find...maybe rare but certainly scarce.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
