<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1077913, member: 27100&quot;]Another example of a rare mint set is the 1986 Irish one, mintage 6,750.&nbsp; The reason it&#039;s currently valued at €575 is that the ½p, 10p and 50p coins were only produced that year for this set (some &#039;escaped&#039; into circulation, and one of the coins had about 3,250 extras for circulation, making a round 10,000 mintage).&nbsp; So a combination of mintage, rarity of certain coins within and demonitisation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I for one would love to have that set!&nbsp; Weirdly enough, the 1996 set has a mintage of just 3,500, but its retail is just €45 (and I have 5 of them).&nbsp; Reason?&nbsp; All coins therein were mass produced for circulation as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
