Royal Mint Monopoly
Unfortunately due to the Royal Mint changing their distribution policies more last year than in previous years, very few dealers are actually able to supply 2006 and 2007 coins and coin sets.
Whereas in the past they have offered some discount to trade customers, this year they have not only decreased the discount but also increased the quantity requirement making it almost impossible for other dealers to compete.
The Royal Mint also tend to abuse their position by keeping members of the trade in the dark about new releases and not only offering them to Royal Mint Coin Club members earlier than they do to trade customers but also at better prices!

Royal Mint Modern Issues
Each year since 1970, the Royal Mint has produced special editions of coin sets for collectors, which are also ideal as gifts.
We will be making advance reservations for an allocation of the 2007 United Kingdom coin sets, and will be offering them for sale at or below the officially published Royal Mint issue price.

For 2007, there are five variations of the coin sets available:

• Ten Coin Uncirculated Set
  Contains the ten circulating coins, from the Two Pounds down to the Penny, but please note they do not contain the Crown.
  Although not struck to the same standards as the proof coins, these coins are also specially examined and selected before packaging. They are all superior to the mass produced coins which are made for circulation because of the absence of bag marks and scratches.
  They are also packaged in a colourful attractive and informative folder.

• Eleven Coin Proof Sets
  "Proof" coins are specially struck with great care and attention. The dies are highly polished on the flat surfaces, with a frosted finish on the design, the blanks from which the coins are struck are also polished before striking (minting), so that the finished coins show their designs to the absolutely best effect. The raised relief parts of the design have a frosted finish, and stand out from the background (field) which has a mirror finish. Each coin is carefully inspected prior to packaging, and is guaranteed to be perfect and without any blemish.
  This years proof sets contain:
  • The new 2007 Abolition of Slave Trade Two Pounds Coin
    2007 Act of Union Between England & Scotland Two Pounds Coin
    
  • The Standard Two Pounds
    
  • New Pound Coin
    The last in the new bridge series, depicting the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
    
  • The new Year 2007 Scouting Fifty Pence
    
  • The Standard Fifty Pence
    
  • The other circulating coins, 20 pence, 10 pence, 5 pence, 2 pence, and 1 penny.
  
  
• Standard Proof Set
  All superbly packaged in a newly designed plastic case, and housed within an attractive wallet.
  
• Gift Pack Proof Set
  The Royal Mint have stopped producing the "Gift Pack" proof sets.
